This tip is entitled, “How to Maximize your Distance by Hitting Triples instead of Home Runs ” and it’s a great overall theory to build your entire swing around. Keep this in the back of your head at all times while you are on the course, and remind yourself of it before every shot.

This problem may be easier to fix than you think. You may not realize it, but your back shoulder may be dipping towards the ground. This move forces the club to hit the ground too early. Most of the time it happens when you are really trying to get into the ball. Imagine…You’re 200 yards out…

Grip: make sure you have a correct, neutral grip.

Ball position: make sure the ball position does not creep too far forward. It should be well within our left heel. Many times a ball position that is too far forward is a result of a weak grip.

Alignment: make sure our body is parallel to the target line. Correct grip and ball position should help improve this.
