Every golfer wants to have a longer drive. It’s fun to watch and can set you up for an easy approach shot. IntoTheRough.com has listed some tips for a longer drive. Do you agree with these?

1. Get practicing with the big stick – Make sure you are hitting the driving range, since your local driving range is where you learn to hit the ball properly with the driver.
2. Tee it high, let it fly – Teeing the ball up higher will help you get more loft on the shot.
3. Get a good tempo and hit it hard – A good, rhythmic golf swing is a beautiful thing. But to get a real power shot, you’re going to have to swing fast and hit through the ball.
4. Check your equipment – Your driver could be holding you back. Are the grips ok? Has the shaft got dents in? Does it have the right amount of flex for your swing?
