Ask anyone who plays golf what one of the trickiest parts of the game is and they will tell you that it is getting the driver golf swing right. Doing so can signal the start of a very good hole but doing it wrong can add even more shots onto your par which is something that you do not want to happen.

So what is the secret to getting that all important driver golf swing right every time? The answer is by paying attention to what you are doing and learning from your mistakes. Too many people falsely believe that they should approach the ball quickly and take aim and hit the ball powering down as hard as they can – however this will not equate to a good driver golf swing. Hitting the ball as hard as you can and with no thought or preparation usually leads to shots that either miss, hit the ball off centre or end up with you just making divots in the ground.

Instead you should take your time and approach the ball with care and concentration, making sure that you are stood comfortably and firmly with your feet apart and knees slightly bent. Then perform the backswing keeping your eyes on the ball and with your head aligned with your spine. Draw back the club and swing rotating your hips to ensure that you are really swinging into the ball, then strike the ball and follow the shot through so that the club makes a clean arc in the air.

Doing this will improve your driver golf swing and ensure that you are hitting the ball cleanly without over balancing or attempting to hit the ball too hard. When playing golf it is always best to try to relax and focus on the ball, blocking out distractions around you.
