When it comes to golf driving distance, seasoned pros and new players alike can suffer some of the same problems on the green.
One of the more common issues is losing distance when teeing off.
This issue can seem insignificant, but shots landing a yard short can easily lead to them landing eight yards, ten yards, even farther short.
These are just a few quick and easy fixes to this problem.
Just about the most common reason for tee shots not getting the distance you want is too much tension on the club.
Golf is a game of finesse and balance, and letting the momentum of the loosely-held club carry your shot will get your ball farther down the course than trying to murder the ball ever will, guaranteed.
One of the other common causes for a shorter drive is the stance.
If you are losing distance, try taking a moment to examine your swing stance.
Your feet should be splayed very slightly outwards, with your forward foot on the target line and your back foot pointed slightly away.
Additionally, players will very often accidentally put their weight on their front foot during the back swing, and this is incorrect.
It should be placed on the back foot, and transferred to the front in the follow-through.
Just remember, everything in golf is flexibility and balance.
It's important to be aware of what you're doing, but relaxing will solve more problems than you think.
Keep these tips in mind and you'll be driving up to par in no time!
