06 Aug How to make the most of your driver

Posted at 07:50h in Golf Tip by

Thanks for the feedback on my appeal last week to try to use Thailand as a springboard for Amari Avery, an extremely talented young 13-year-old who could be the next LPGA Tour sensation.

Over the years as a golf coach, I’ve seen the occasional raw talent, but unfortunately I’ve also witnessed how overbearing parents or excessive forced practice can make these gifted young players turn their backs on the game. However, in this particular case I don’t think that this prodigy will.

The physics of golf suggest it’s easier to fade drives by teeing the ball low and to draw by teeing high, but skilled swing control and high confidence are usually necessary.

To get the maximum from your driver, it should strike the ball either at the bottom of its ark or just at the beginning of the upswing. Such strikes are properly achieved when only around half the ball is showing above the top edge of the head of the driver.

Out of Bounds: A caddie’s scope of work has not changed since golf was invented, and the three main basic requirements that have survived are: show up, keep up and shut up.
