Golf Tip - The right mind for hitting the long drive
You need to reprogram your mind if you want to hit it long and straight. When it comes to 'going long' the old 'grip-it and rip-it' mentality is a sure way to disaster. 1) First - During your pre-swing routine, while you are standing behind the ball selecting your line you need to pick a specific spot in the fairway that you want your ball to land, then visualize a smooth swing with your the ball sailing and landing directly on that spot. This may sound a little 'hokie' if you've never done it, but TRY IT! It works. You will hit a lot more acceptable tee shots because your mind has programed your body with a specific goal. 2) Second - You must mentally accept the fact that in order to drive the ball farther you do not try to hit the ball harder. The big hitters on the tour all have great tempo through the ball striking area. Tempo is about flowing into the ball, not swatting at it. Go to You Tube and type in 'Ernie Els' or 'Fred Couples' and watch video of their swings. Here are two guys with a slow smooth tempo that regularly hit the ball past the three hundred yard marker. 3) Third - Clear your mind of all thoughts, relax, take a deep breath, let out half of it, then, slowly, almost as if in slow motion start your coiling process with the swing thought 'sweet swing'. This will keep you calm and and allow you to flow into the ball instead of 'lunging' at it.
