Q&A: Basic tips for driving a golf ball?
Question by jeff h: Basic tips for driving a golf ball?
I have gone out a couple times, but I would like to get into golfing. My short game is decent, but I cannot drive to save my rear. I am not lacking in muscle, and I think I may be relying on my muscle too much. Any tips?

focus on making a nice smooth solid easy golf swing.
watch youtube videos of people with good golf swings and form your swing and grip around them.

You need to work on technique as it is the key to your game. For great lessons check my source.
Start by hitting half swings with a 7 iron easy, this will educate your hands and body for coordination. Gradually build it up over time (weeks and Months) . Its not really strength muscles its speed muscles once you learn to swing.
You need to make sure to stay wide on your backswing make a good turn and finish with balance. Many other factors are involved but keep it simple is a good tip so try this and maybe also make sure to not stand to close to the ball good luck,
if you have the muscle, then your simply trying to hard. it may sound silly but tell yourself before you dive to hit it like girl. club speed causes distance not strength, so when strong guys try to muscle the ball your actually slowing down the club speed, and dont let your back swing go back so far, you only need a 3/4 swing with quickness, not a full swing with power, once you learn how to control your 3/4 girl swing, youll be able to add a little power, but you cant just start out killing the ball , youll just slice it do death.
go practice swing, swing it like i said ,and youll hear a swoosh , swing it hard with power and you wont hear the swish. this will prove it to your brain and make it easier to make the change.
