In Rhythm With Driver

Been struggling with driver a bit over the past few months but got it together on Saturday morning last week.

My back swing needs to be slow for me to have control. Really focus on going back slowly and not hitting the ball too hard.

My grip now has me hitting the ball straight so I don't need to rotate the face (to the left) on the downswing anymore.

During the week prior, I was also practising hitting the tee without a ball as a drill. I also started my swing further back from the tee in order to hit up on the ball. I think this was helpful to get my tempo right. Probably a good one to keep doing consistently.

Noting here too that in the competition on Saturday I came 7th out of 125 people. We played the par format which I really enjoyed. Very glad that a lot of formats don't penalise you if you have a terrible round.
