For a long time, the driving was my strong costume. I was long by my finger and I had the precision to start. And because my drives always found the right path, I had a ton of trust from tee.
However, lately, my drives have been incorrect – often beating, if I am lucky, and more often than not to sail outside the borders. Disappointing, to say at least. And as a result, my belief from tee got a hit.
Instead of trusting my driver, I have found myself irritating to run these shots in short grass, which rarely ends well.
So, I addressed Debbie Doniger, A Top 100 Golf teacherto help me develop a unlawful game and rebuild my faith from tee.
She shared an excellent tip that has changed the way I practice and play, giving my driver a very necessary increase at the beginning of the season.
Play your natural shot form
It may sound like an intelligent, but when you are standing in a hole with a danger or outside the border, it can be seductive to aim for the middle with the hope of avoiding trouble.
But, as I have learned, this strategy can put unnecessary pressure on your shooting – often exaggerating your ball flight, or worse, a tough miss on the other side.
Instead of trying to hit it perfectly down the middle, Doniger explains that choosing a target that allows you to play your natural pale or drawing is the smartest option.
“I believe it should be the same ball flight every time,” Doniger says. “How much is the curves we do not really know, but you can rely on that curve no matter which hole you are in.”
How to implement it in practice
While this type is quite straightforward, its execution properly begins with the recognition of your natural ball flight and the only way to develop a feeling for this is spending time in the range.
A drill that helped me develop my feeling and fairway fairway car is choosing a distant road target and seeing if I can keep the ball within this limit. Usually, I give myself a window 30- to 40-yard to bend the ball, as this is the width of most golf holes.
This approach allows me to follow how often I am hitting my pallor, which is my natural ball flight, and even helps me to appreciate how far I have to aim. After some practice sessions with this training, I found out that I hit the most way in the course.
