Distance off the tee: try hitting your wedge in the sweet spot first!

Want to hit your driver further? That is one of the most common desires I hear from my students. I am going to give you a short, easy way to improve your distance. Put some face tape (can be purchased from a golf shop or ask your instructor) on your WEDGE and see how often you contact the ball in the center of the clubface. You’d be surprised at where the marks will be on the face tape. It has been proven that when you contact the ball in the center of the clubface, your distance can be maximized….with every club! If you can’t hit the center of the clubface with your wedge, just think where the marks are on the face of your driver! Have you ever said, “I hit every club the same distance!” Try making smaller swings with each club and work on contacting the center of the clubface…you’ll discover that those long, out of balance, out of control, golf swings are “distance robbers!” Try to increase your distance by swinging LESS and contacting the center of the clubface…you’ll be surprised.

Question - I am 70 years old and still hit a fairly long drive (230 - 260 and occaisionally a 290 or so). My problem is that about half the time I don't see where the ball went. Big problem!! Any suggestions? Thanks... O. J.
OJ...WOW...a problem to have...hitting it "out of sight!" Congratulations! Actually, I do have suggestions: 1). learn to know where it goes by the feel of where the contact is on the face of the club 2). Hire a caddy 3). Have your playing partners stand behind you to watch. Good luck and keep up the great tee shots.
