How to Use a Driver Club in Golf

You cannot play golf and enjoy it if you don't have the right clubs. Each club has a specific purpose in the game. There are three types of clubs; woods, irons and putters, and a golfer may have a variety of these clubs in their bag. Each type of club lifts the ball from the tee or ground differently.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Golf clubs
• Golf ball
• Driving range

1. Select the right golf club set. Your height and hand size determine the golf club style you fit. Go to a golf store where a professional is on staff and get fitted for your clubs by a pro.

2. Grip the club with your left hand below the right. The butt of your right hand rests at the end of the club.

3. Set your posture so that you are not over the ball, but to the side of it. Stretch out the golf club towards the ball—keep your arms bent slightly and place the club at the back of the ball. This is your guide for distance between you and the ball.

4. Stand with your knees flexed and back straight. Any bending is at the hips—the back stays straight through the whole swing.

5. Move your golf club back and forth across your body and over the top of the ball. Your hips need to pivot with the swing of your club.

6. Create a relationship between your hands and your arms. The driver club swing is about relaxation and the downward movement.

7. Relate to the club and ball on a mental level. Many golfers close their eyes and visualize the club hitting the ball. Then they practice the swing repeatedly until their body moves with their mental image.

Tips & Warnings

• Spend the extra money and buy a new set of golf clubs that fit you.
• It is important to stretch before you golf. Lower back injuries do occur.
