Powering longer drives off the tee only comes with practice, but you do need to be sure you are swinging the club correctly , a skill which anyone can learn. Then all you do is practice and practice some more. Click Here for some excellent advice on how to swing the club properly and hit longer golf drives.
Lack of distance off the tee is one of the major causes of much of the heartache of the handicap golfer. It doesn't seem to what you do to your swing, the same lamentable result is always the same, a pathetically short dive.
All your golfing buddies are hitting their shots way past yours and are likely having a good laugh among themselves about your short drives. Understandably you are getting fed up of having to play you second shots first every hole.
It does not make any difference what elevation you have on your ball off the tee, if the ball does not have over spin it is not going to run very far once it hits the ground. It takes big hitting to carry your drives virtually the whole distance through the air before the it plops down then can barely manage another ten yards or so before coming to a halt.
So how do you hit those low drives off the tee, which never seem to stop rolling?
By flattening your back swing. Playing the driver means you have to swing the ball using a flatter swing plane so as to sweep it off the tee in as wide an arc as you can manage, without deliberately forcing the body in any way to do this. You have to take the club head back low to the ground as possible, keeping both arms outstretched.
Be sure to grip with the right hand far enough over the shaft, to enable you to swing flat. The grip needs to be correct at the address else you won't be able swing the club around your body.
Try and practice with the driver from a side hill lie, feet below the ball, and you will find this is a great way to learn how to swing the club with a flatter swing arc.

Adjustable Picnic Table Plans - A Better Alternative To Fixed Picnic Tables?
By: Philip | 22/12/2009 | FurnitureWe live in a community where most of the children know each other, and they play together at weekends. We noticed last summer that one of the kids who came round regularly said their parents had not got an adjustable picnic table, similar to ours, so we thought we would make one for them as a present. They could use it when the weather gets warmer.
Outdoor Pergola Plans
By: Philip | 22/12/2009 | LandscapingOutdoor pergolas look good in a garden, and form an attractive and functional use as well. They are pleasing to the eye. My wife was skimming through numerous garden magazines this summer, trying to get some ideas of how she wanted our garden to look. We have a large garden, so she thought an outdoor pergola would look good somewhere in the garden, but she was not quite sure where. I agreed, and suggested we look for a set of outdoor pergola plans.

By: Philip | 22/12/2009 | RemodelingWhen the time comes to build a roof for your shed, there are a few options available to you. I am assuming in this article, that the shed which needs a roof is made out of wood.

One which slopes from a high point on one side of the shed.
Free Large Dog House Plans - Looking For Ideas
By: Philip | 22/12/2009 | PetsSome years ago, one of our near neighbours bought a dog, and soon afterwards it became clear to me that it lived outside all year round.

Wood Shed Kits - Getting More Storage Space
By: Philip | 22/12/2009 | RemodelingWood shed kits are an ideal way to expand your storage space in the backyard. Wood is a good choice of material to use, as metal is subject to rusting and vinyl can be expensive. Vinyl also tends not to look so good as a wooden structure, in my opinion. There are a few considerations to think about before laying out your hard earned money in buying one of these.
