Golf Tips - 4 Steps to the Perfect Power Drive
January 22, 2009Golf Tips - 4 Steps to the Perfect Power Drive
The 4 Basics of Hitting That Perfect Power Drive:
Whatever you do Stay with your Routine. When you are under pressure and the adrenaline is flowing its imperative that you use the same pre-shot routine that you use for every shot you make.
When you get to your ball to make your shot you have to be very specific with your aim. If you are aiming for the centre of the fairway you need to focus on a point in the distance that is in line with the target. For instance to concentrate and focus it should be something small like the branch of a tree not just that big old tree!!. When you have that then at your set up pick a point in front of the ball that is in line with the target and aim the club at that.
Its very important to stay calm, it’s so easy to let the nerves take over when you are under pressure. If your hearts pounding and your breathing is heavy you really need to control them. Try counting your breaths. Breath in to the count of 5 and out to the count of 5. This should help keep your rhythm, control your nerves and help you focus.
Last but not least VISUALISE your shots. Have a positive mental attitude at all times I can not stress how important this is. What I do before the shot as part of my routine is close my eyes picture the shot I will be making watch the ball land at the spot I aimed at and SMILE (yes this re enforces the positive mind set and really annoys your opponent !!) Now when you set up you know you will hit the perfect golf shot.
