How I hit my ball straight

I know it is strange that I'm not selling anything that tells you how to hit the ball straight!  But I'm happy to tell you what I've done & the difference it has made free!

Why?  Because I know what it feels like to continually slice the ball off the tee.  Many days I need the whole width of the fairway to plat my shot!

Today I hit more straight drives than I have hit ever - in any rounds of golf I have ever played anywhere.

I know you are wondering how...

I did 2 simple things:

1. Raised my tee higher - In case you're wondering I'm not highly co-ordinated but managed to connect most of the time.

2. Moved the tee forward - Level with the front of my lead foot.

Now I have no idea about the physics or why it worked.  I just know it worked for me.  I hope it works for you too!

Finally a free golf tip to help me hit straighter

I wasn't sure what to make of Peter as he ambled over to me at a golf tournament in the weekend. He was a tidy golfer and I thought he was worth listening to. I found out later he had been a scratch golfer back in his day. Now he was enjoying his retirement.

He gave me a small tip that made a huge difference to my shots. They went straight!

Just as Peter shared the tip freely to me, I am happy to share it as I know how frustrating a slice can be.

The tip was to move my right hand (I am right handed) further round on my grip. It felt really uncomfortable & weird, but after a few hits is starting to feel natural.

I have a slow swing (rather than trying to smash the ball). I count "1, 1 thousand, 2, 1 thousand, through...). Swing back on 1, down on 2 & then through the ball.

Good luck!
