The Senior Golf Swing - Golf Driver Tips

Imagine that little white ball soaring, straight as an arrow, down the centre of the fairway...Great!

You will find Golf Driver Tips everywhere, both online and offline. This particular club can be difficult to master, its size and length can be intimidating, especially for beginners. Golf Driver Tips are aplenty, and here are some of the best and most effective for the senior golf swing.

A solid, reliable drive off the tee is a key element to a lower score. Hook or slice and its bye bye birdie. A few wayward drives off the tee will ruin your score for the entire game, and probably your day.

Conversely, Senior Golfers (and others) who are prepared to review these Golf Driver Tips will often see lower scores if they apply them to a senior golf swing.

A great drive, combining both distance and accuracy will have your ball end up closer to your target, the green. You now have an advantage; a shorter shot to the green makes the possibility of a birdie or even an eagle easier. A few of these shots will certainly help to lower your score significantly.

Golf Driver Tip #1 - "Relax".

This is extremely important and requires you to practice patience and concentration. Master it and you will enjoy your game to the full. You have heard it before "let the club head do the work" Muscling your way through a tee shot is a sure way for you to wind up looking for your ball in the woods. Trying to Rip the ball down the fairway will almost always result in a hook or a slice. The Senior Golf Swing should be a thing of grace and beauty.

Golf Driver Tip #2 - "Clear your Head"

The last hole is gone. If you had a poor showing do not take the baggage with you to the next tee. Anger and Frustration over a bad score on the previous hole will almost certainly lead to a bad drive. Before addressing your ball, or even before your it is your turn to tee-off, take time to calm down, breathe deeply, and most importantly, go through your pre-shot routine.

Golf Driver Tip #3 -"Practice"

The Golf driving range is the place to hone your skills. Repeated practice of the senior golf swing, especially with the modern great big oversized drivers is the key...Why?

• Oversized clubs can be difficult to square up at first. To find the "sweet spot" with the heavier and larger head requires plenty patience and practice.

• Gaining confidence to use these big drivers is essential and golf practice is the only way to get it

• Oversized clubs require the ball to be teed up higher. The best place to test and practice using the correct height is on the range...not on the first tee!

Golf Driver Tip #4 -"The Grip"

Resist the urge to strangle the club when you take it into your hands. Chances of slicing the ball multiply in direct proportion to the force of the "death grip" Golf 101 teaches various grips but all of them teach you to use "light pressure"...Why?

• Light pressure enhances the wrist hinge which is a vital power source in the swing.

• Light pressure increases club face rotation resulting in improved square contact.

This Tip also applies to all the other clubs in the golf bag, and more importantly to a senior golf swing.
