This is a short, sweet, but very valuable article on how to improve your golf swing, especially driving accuracy. I was reading a Golf Magazine article with David Toms who is number one in driving accuracy on the PGA Tour. It was a quick read, but for any of you who struggle to find the fairway off the tea, you will do yourself justice to read these simple golf tips.
Simple Golf Driving Tips For Accuracy
Tip #1 – Make your target smaller and beyond just the fairway. I know for me, I look at the fairway and in my mind, say “just hit the fairway” and many times I don’t. By picking a smaller target beyond the fairway, like a tree or power pole, you are telling your mind to hit something more precise, so if you miss it, you are still in the fairway!
Golf Tip #2 – Eliminate tension before your swing. I know this one may sound quite obvious, but I know for me, I will get on a tight hole, and synch up like a not, and end up hitting out OB or into an unplayable situation. Here’s 2 things that have helped me. Waggle your club in the same manner as the swing you want to hit, then place it behind the ball. Without any hesitation take it back and make your golf swing. You will give your mind NO TIME to think about it, and you will be tension-free!
Golf Tip #3 – Swing within yourself. This is a BIGGY! You cannot swing outside of your physical capabilities thinking your going to kill it. This creates more tension and tension will redirect your club “off path” and impact will be inconsistent. One easy way to swing within yourself, is to say you are going to swing at 60%. This will promote an effortless swing with solid ball contact. That contact will give you greater distance and accuracy…so don’t be surprised if your ball goes FARTHER than normal. This will be an eye-opener for you!
