While it’s tempting to “grip it and rip it” like John, it’s more realistic to think of your golf drives the same way tennis players think of their second serves – with an emphasis on placement. Tiger and Phil might miss nearly half of their fairways, but they have the strength and skill to get out of the rough and put enough spin on the ball to stop it on the green. You need to play to YOUR strengths.
Most non-pro level players slice the ball, but few people actually play for one. If your ball flight normally curves from left to right, consider teeing it up on the right side of the tee box. That way, you can aim to the left and let the ball find the fairway.
Whether you play a draw or a fade, it’s important to play to your strengths off the tee and not attempt shots that are beyond you. Play smart, know your game, and save strokes.
Want to find out where your drive needs work? If you’re local to the Portland, Maine area, make an appointment at The Golf Clinic to get a complimentary swing analysis consultation. Email me here to schedule your consult if you’re in the area.
If you’re not local, check out the Reseller Map to see where there’s a P3ProSwing set up near you. Every new Sports Authority in the U.S. has one so there’s probably one near you.
See you soon!

Great tips to follow. Being professional and showing them there’s more to come I think are the most important. You need to give them a great article, that makes them want to come back. And then make sure you don’t disappoint.
