Welcome to Golf Driving Tip

Golf is a favorite past time and everybody knows some people who enjoy it. Maybe you have been asked to join some friends or co workers but don't think you can compete… or maybe you just need a little help with your golf driving game. Whatever the case, Golf Driving Tip aims to help all of those people around the world who simply need some pointers on golf driving.

Golfing and The Drive for Success: Tempo, Mind and Body

There are two components of the golf game that outweigh all others combined. Those two components are driving and putting. The difference between a good score and a bad score is often in the way a golfer executes these two components. A golfer can be a bad driver and still get a decent score if he is a good putter. And by the same token a bad putter can end up with a respectable score by solid driving. The old adage about ‘driving for show and putting for dough' is not entirely correct. Driving well can certainly pay well in the final score too.

Which is easier to learn? Probably putting. The muscular coordination required for driving adds more complexity to the mix than the more hand/eye focused activity of putting. There are commonalities in executing both well but most golfers would agree that driving is more complex and harder to execute than putting. And if you look at the decline of a golfers game over a number of years it is often the driving game that will have suffered. A good putting game once learned, usually stays with you for life; whereas a good driving game often suffers from the lack of dexterity and flexibility, which often comes with age.

Regardless of your age though there are certain fundamentals of driving that every golfer should know; fundamentals so important that they will often make a tangible difference in your percentage of greens in regulation.

Free Golf Tips (NEW!) - Golf is a cruel mistress: One day, you’re striking the ball well, sinking all your putts, and you leave the course walking on air, thinking you’ve finally worked out all the kinks in your game.

Some of us are born with a perfect swing and the first time on the course it's obvious. For the record, the rest of us hate you all...

Fed Ex Cup - An early vacation is no longer an option for many of the Professional Golfers’ Association’s top players. Golf’s new schedule in 2007 encourages the PGA Tour’s pros to compete to the very end of the season, rather than take a break after the last major (the PGA Championship) is played in early August. In years past, the PGA Championship was the last stop for many elite golfers until the season started again in earnest in January. Five more tournaments are usually scheduled after the PGA Championship. The PGA Championship, in the past, was a golfer’s last chance to gain exemption status for the Tour with a victory in that tournament. The advent of the FedEx Cup gives golfers additional opportunities to gain exempt status and establish themselves as the true elite of the game. The FedEx Cup encourages the players to stick around...

Golf Backswing - A best-case scenario evolved from a worst-case embarrassment on the golf course the other day. My horrendous play at the start of the round resulted in some valuable backswing tips from my playing partners. When we started, I executed my backswing on a drive, lifted my head to see where the ball would fly upon contact, and followed through as if I was swinging a baseball bat. The ball skipped on top of the grass like a hockey puck...

Putting Tips - Anyone can putt. It is the simplest form of golf. That’s why children can challenge their parents in a putt-putt game. How ever simple a putt might seem it still strikes fear into the most skilled golfers in the world. Long-time PGA Tour golfer Tom Lehman has endured a victory drought primarily because of his putting game. He has attempted to regain his putting touch by switching between the traditional putter and a long putter. The mind has played tricks on him, and when a golfer allows the mind to get in way, the results are undesirable...
