Greg Norman shares 3 tips for long, straight driving
Two-time major winner Greg Norman has three tips for hitting longer, straighter drives, according to a new GOLF instruction piece.
GOLF has published a short driving lesson built around Greg Norman, a two-time major winner. Per the GOLF report, the piece lays out three tips aimed at one goal: hitting the ball long and straight off the tee. The full breakdown of each tip is behind the link. Read the full report.
The pairing of distance and accuracy is the oldest problem in driving. Most amateurs trade one for the other. Swing harder and the ball tends to leave the face line. Swing easier and the ball stays in play but gives up yards. A lesson that claims to deliver both is worth a look, especially from a player with two major titles to his name.
Distance means little without a fairway.
Norman's résumé gives the advice standing. Winning at the major level demands a driver that holds up under pressure. Players who do it for a career usually rely on fundamentals that are simple to repeat. That is the useful lens for any tip list like this one: does each idea reduce moving parts, or add them?
For readers, the practical step is to test one tip at a time. Take a single change to the range, hit a dozen balls, and track where they finish before moving to the next. Changing three things at once makes it impossible to know what worked.
GNN will keep tracking instruction content from established names as the offseason approaches, when many golfers turn to swing work.
