Do you struggle off the tee with your driver? Do you have trouble hitting the fairway? There is a correct way to drive a golf ball and there is a incorrect way to drive a golf ball off the tee. Read on to discover the correct and incorrect way to hit a drive.

The incorrect drive off the tee ends up in the tree, the rough, out of bounds, in front of the tee box, or even right down the middle and into the creek that crosses the fairway. These are all trouble shots and shots that are best avoided by all of us golfers.

The correct drive is to hit one that is right down the middle of the fairway and is not in a creek. This is the drive we all want and the drive we need in order to have a great chance at out second shot. We want the ball sitting in the fairway at the perfect place for us to hit our favorite iron right up onto the green so that we can be putting for birdie.

So how do you achieve a correct drive? How do you drive the golf ball right down the fairway?

The first thing you have to be able to do in order to hit a great drive, or any great shot, is picture the shot going where you want it to go. You have to be able to have a mental picture of the exact shot you want to hit. You have to be able to picture in your mind where you want the ball to go and how you are going to get it there.

If you cannot mentally picture the ball going where you want it to go, then you will never be able to get it there. So next time you step up to the tee box, take your time, picture the perfect drive you want, and stick the ball right down the middle of the fairway.
