GOLF DRIVING BASICS TO IMPROVE YOUR TEE SHOTS

[@trevorpascoe8830]

What I like most about your videos is that they are always well presented, not too complicated and often fun. Tip 1 for me but mainly because my drives are short and generally straight, not long enough to get into trouble on my home course.

[@stuartflude4426]

Driving God Tip 2. Just wanted to add that I have been watching your videos for past 7 years and have been entertained and had my preconceptions about golf challenged. Net result won my club championship last weekend. Thanks Mark, Lockey and everyone else that has appeared on the channel.

[@bobmacek7826]

The last series of your videos have been fantastic. Tee heights, draws, cuts, teeing right or left. Instruction made simple. You and Matt went about throwing things in a kettle and taught us how to make soup before we even knew you were cooking anything. Nice Job.

[@nickfurnessgolf2197]

Tip 2 I’ve heard you say a while back. Since then I know I drive better when I think about where I tee up. I used to think tee it further away from an out of bounds. Now I tee nearer it and hit away from it, take it out of play. Also I used to always aim the way the tee was set up, by using this same point I now move my body to where I want it to go. These tips make a huge difference. Please keep them coming.

[@shanetoll7147]

The tee height for shot shape was my favorite tip. Like the idea of simple methods to play with shape and delivery ideas.

[@kevingraham6314]

Tee heights definitely worth experimenting with

[@afisguru26]

The tee heights and their effect on shots is very helpful.

[@davidhector7580]

Tip 3! I just updated drivers and since watching this have been experimenting with my tee heights. I have learned I was A) inconsistent with my tee heights in the past B) I need a different tee height for my new driver vs my prior. Keep up the good work Driving God! Love your channel!!

[@rolfvandulst1605]

Tip 2 helps me visualise the shot I want to play. Not a popular choice from reading the other comments, but where I tee up has made a big difference to my round today! Thanks Mark.

[@michaelashton535]

Tip three for me. I have been playing around with tee heights over the last week and this only confirms what I have found. Keep up the good work!

[@deanjackson1985]

All tips in this video are great when put into practise and executed properly. Tip 4 - course management has to be the most crucial for me personally and knowing your own strengths and weaknesses on the golf course. I play at a course where there is various different trouble on a lot of the tee shots and a wide variety of clubs are selected for those tee shots on a weekly basis taking weather conditions etc into consideration. Moral of the story, and most importantly for tip 4, select the club which is most likely going to keep you out of trouble. Great content as always.

[@rm1133]

Production value since the days in the shed at the range 7 or 8 yrs ago has come a LONG way! Love tip #2. Tee it up on the side of the trouble has always helped open up the holes for me.

[@neilkeith5116]

All tips good. Golfers need to understand the course they’re playing and where they can keep the big numbers off their cards as well as using these really used tips. Great stuff Mark.

[@floridasaltlife]

The best and my favorite kind of your videos. All of you guys across the pond guys are such a class act. Wish I could golf you you all.

[@dahallsta]

Tip 4. Take the ego away and take the danger out of play makes so much sense and I know a lot of amateurs don't even consider hitting 3 wood let alone an iron off the tee. I've been part of that gang but recently started to really use course management and can see my scores coming down. Great video

[@daveweedall4505]

Tip four is the one for me our fairway bunkers are not the place you want to be . Look forward to some more of these videos mate very helpful cheers

[@brianmccool9728]

Tee height. Haven’t played with it but will now. Visually easy way to help control shape. Brilliant

[@terrymcgovern613]

Tip 2 for sure. Might help explain my traditional bad spots at home course. Will give it a try!

[@peteraloisio3533]

Driving God Gotta tip 2, as someone who suffers from the occasional slice, this resonates so much for me. I’ll let know after comp Saturday morning and pennants matchplay on Sunday. These types of videos are so much better than indoor smashing the ball against a screen and stroke your ego about those bomb balls you hit. Come on these make so much more sense. Thanks guys.

[@brucescobell4929]

Tip 1 driver I have sorted out my driver and I’m hitting it further and hitting more fairways really has help my scores thanks for all the great videos

[@chrismitchell7198]

Love the idea of adjusting my tee height. Never gave it much thought. Thanks.

[@TheBradleyp63]

Laying up and to tee height are very helpful. Thanks for the video.

[@claytonkerr2445]

Tip 3! Can't wait to try the different tee hight and see if it changes my ball flight! Thanks so much!

[@christophervasquez4715]

Tip #2/#3 have made a big difference in my game. Focusing on the proper side of the tee box for my shape starts me off in a better place. Trying to minimize the misses. A slightly higher tee is also helping me promote a draw which I find most stable for me. Love these videos!

[@resozv]

#2 getting on side that works for you. More practical lessons? YES PLEASE! driving god

[@deanevans8618]

Tip 2. Always try to visualise the shot from the tee as makes me more confident.So choosing best place to hit from does this for me. Great info again thanks.

[@kevinderung8524]

I mostly watch because you guys are entertaining, i dont have the ability (yet) to take advantage of these tips except for the high tee...that makes it easier for me to make good contact.

[@kl3060]

#2!!! I think I picked up this tip from one of your muppet tours a few years back and it has helped me see the shot off the tee tremendously

[@ybach64]

I like the which side to tee from considering your shot shape. Yes, more of theses tips please.

[@briankinread2293]

No. 2. Helps me visualize the shot I need to hit and my tendencies

[@joelcopeland3018]

I really like the advice on moving back and forth on the tee box. At 61, I am a beginner and can use any advice I can find and this is something that I had not really considered. I usually just tee up in the middle of the box just like everyone I play with does. I'll use this during my next round. Really enjoy your channel.

[@williamstanley6804]

Tip 2 - definitely has helped with visualising the shot better.

[@craigwithchelsea]

Tip 2 definitely helped me. As i need to visualize more off the tee. Great vid thx

[@SolomonLi]

Tee Tips for Tea Time!!! Love the first point. Reminds me of Colin Morikawa at Harding Park! It's cool seeing you work your game based on the course. Sometimes I just lose my mind and stop thinking... Need to take note and go with my strengths when I can!

[@marttij6831]

Tip number two. Have started to use it and had success with it.

[@dougwhidden]

Tip 3... Would love to see more course management videos like this.

[@MrsJonesTart]

High tee from now on for me!!! Thanks Mark & Coach

[@mypianoteacher4805]

Tips 2 and 4 both resonated well with me as they both promoted strong course management and shot visualisation! Thanks for more great tips Mark 👍

[@davidsullivan2970]

Like the position on the tee tip. Will certainly make me think differently from now on.

[@kevinallibone9214]

Definitely going to practice different tee heights!

[@kylemcd91185]

Experimenting with tee heights. I love the enthusiasm to try it and I’ll definitely be giving it a go over the weekend. Tip #3

[@sheldontaljaard9580]

All of them are great tips. Tee hight is the one that helped me. Thanks to you and coach for yet another cool vid. Keep it up.

[@paulmunro720]

Great video. All great tips. Going to concentrate on Tip 4 tomorrow and see how i get on

[@jeffreyewing1168]

I love and is tip #2 teeing up on the proper side of the t-box. The opposite side of the trouble side. When I’m doing this , I also us tip #3 to help shape my ball flight. Thanks for the tips Mark, and Matt.

[@tonyjennings4317]

Teeing the ball slightly higher seems to work for me today! My ball flight was consistently higher with improved direction, boosted my confidence. I've not played for a while so ALL these tips are helpful thanks!

[@simonoliver1174]

Teeing position explained now I can understand simples really Thanks

[@Bikebros27]

Tip2 using the tee box. I have recently started doing this and makes such a big difference to feeling confident of the tee.

[@KevlarElmo]

I definitely move about the tee box to get better angles or to suit the shape I’m hitting that day. Great video chaps!

[@charlesharrison6291]

DRIVING GOD. Tip 4 for me. Excellent video keep them coming and I will always watch them.

[@zazoo2495]

Tip no. 2 Really good tips, short to the point and usefull.

[@martinbarnes6159]

Great video Mark tip 4 about keeping out of the hazard. But l like all the tips they all made sense.

[@vito4461]

The tee block position is one I've used and helped many times

[@devito501]

Tip number 1 an 4 for me . Gotta say I love watching your vids . Great editing skills too .

[@robjelley1138]

Love these type of vids! More please. Tip 2 for me. Picked this up from one of your vids a few years back and have put it to good use helping me get from 28 to 12 and able to break 80 on a good day 👍

[@mikelor3167]

Tip number 4 made the most sense here!

[@paulbatchelor9048]

Tip 2 for me ball placement on the tee is a big thing for me.will try this weekend see how it goes.keep up the good work

[@kmbecker4]

Over the years of watching your videos I've picked up and tried all four, but I think #4 is the one I need to hear most often. So often, I look at hole length and choose based on that, and never really stop to think about what's down there. Oh "Driving God"

[@chip167]

Driving God Tip 4 best one for me - made me rethink what to hit off different tees round my home course!

[@jwcoulth]

Love these vids, keep them coming! Using tee height to your advantage 👌

[@jeremycrowley994]

Great video again.......in my opinion all the tips are very valid......course management...tee heights for shots you want to play.... I use tip 2 all the time positioning on tee box opens up the area you want to start the ball and when decision (ball on the tee) is made it helps you stick to that decision and commit to the shot as well.......keep up the great work lads 👏👏

[@nathwak]

the one on using the tee box is a great tip...see so many of my mates simply plonking the ball in the middle and not thinking about their shot shape or miss

[@richardhamilton4227]

Tip #4 is defo the most helpful

[@msymons6057]

Crossfield at his best here for me 👏🏻

[@davidsparkes9023]

Hey guys. Tip 4 was best for me. So often I just tee off and think, oh I I'll just hope I don't go into those bunkers... Then I'm so disappointed when I do. Just club down David and try and be in the hole and not worrying about that bunker shot. Great stuff. Love these short tip blogs bruh. From David, still stuck in Afghanistan with... No golf :(

[@jromordah6972]

Tip 3 is very interesting, I will have to try that out on the course.

[@anthonykirk5800]

Love tips 1 and 4 and how they could work really well together. Consistent with the driver but love the idea of being down for those fades and up for the drawers. Cheers bra's

[@stevescaggs5982]

Love it. Keep up the good work gentlemen.

[@jameshope7766]

Tip 4 was the one I generally struggle with the most, hard to remove that bravado from those situations. Only came across the channel recently but loving the content, thanks guys.

[@rohitpratap4174]

Series on playing in the wind was gold my favourite

[@hanleyagolf]

Picking the place in the tee box to make your shot was very interesting for me. It is sometimes a challenge when the tee box is bumpy (ball below/above feet). How Coach spoke about it influencing how the hole appears before you is really cool. Looking forward to applying this this afternoon 👌😎

[@robertsprouse8903]

Learning to use a lower tee to hit a fade has helped me a lot.

[@philthomas175]

Tip 4 without a doubt. The point you made about us golfers struggling with the battle against our Ego is spot on. The amount of times I'm looking at a course planner knowing a lay up is the sensible play, yet my driver still finds its way out of the bag 😂 Great video and Tips Cheers 👍

[@peterjones1092]

Tip 3, will be trying that on the range at the weekend.

[@tomkenno]

Deffo interesting on where to set up on the tee box. I’ll be trying that when I next play!

[@davidrandles8924]

Great vid lads, really nice quick flow and great info 👍 Looking forward to coaches back 9 holes aswell from the last vid. Great content

[@nwoz615]

I think tip 2 is super important, it's really helpful for me to have any amount more confidence as possible

[@alangarrett9641]

Interesting views on overlooked course management. All tips valid when applied correctly at each hole.

[@ianmileham8531]

Tip 2 for me mark great tip for moving ball away from the dangers using your shot shape

[@andrewhook7903]

Utilizing more strategy as to where on the tee box I set up my shot...very helpful

[@michaelpatrick6808]

Tip 1 always use my driver, it’s a safe accurate club but short. Tip 2 It’s amazing looking at the hole from different sides of the tee box gives a completely different perception of the hole. Tip 3 Will definitely try different tee heights only ever teed the ball high. Tip 3 Usually not long enough to reach the fairway bunkers but will bear it in mind as a danger in future. I’ll have to let you know after thinking and trying about these driving tips ..... all worth thinking about. Just started using Srixon soft feel ..... lovely!

[@richardjames4349]

Tip 2 for me. People tell me all the time I have to tee up on a certain side of the tee box because of my shot shape. But sometimes it fits my eye better from the other side. I love how you and coach explained that! I’ll tee on the side I chose, it’s my choice!!!

[@richardvallance6798]

The tee box position is a great tip.

[@williambaker4375]

I think tip #2 was most helpful. I certainly consider where I want to set up in the tee box, but my thought process is often different than the reasons you shared. I could see myself saving a stroke or two from this tip. Thank you!

[@arthuracorn]

More of everything guys, still the best on YT

[@squirel66a]

really great ideas for course management and improving. All of them make sense to. me. Having moved clubs this year I've really been focusing on all four of these. The first one about accurate clubbing works when there's trouble that being accuate with my 2 iron helps avoid. The second one about position on tee I have been using when I'm trying to fade the ball (teeing on right and aiming centre to left side). The Third I've been experimenting with this week (after watching a 'get up Dan' vlog) and trying at the range on Tuesday evening, too it to the course on Wednesday and shot the best round at my new course so far with 75% of fairways hit. The fourth one is similar to the first, there are a couple of sharp dog legs that I've starting taking a three wood at so that I don't go through the fairway into trees. Great advice and a real practical way to influence course management.

[@scottkelly4020]

The tip on tee heights is an eye opener! 😯 Always thought lowering the tee slightly would just lower your trajectory, never thought it would affect all those other aspects of your swing and direction! Top tip. Cheers. 👏👏 Driving God.

[@ronlanman1412]

The second tip is what I like the most. I like to see the shot landing safely. Most of my lost shots are played from bad lies. A mental vision of the ball landing in the short grass gives me a relaxed, confident swing. Thanks for the tips!!

[@ronlanman1412]

I'd like to ask for an additional tip. How should I edit my score card to record things like, fairways, greens, putts, etc. Is there a simple way to record these things on my scorecard?

[@gregjohnson4598]

Tee position really does help, I often do this, people ask why and when you explain it makes sense!👍🏼

[@alunbliss]

Experimenting with the tee height will be interesting. I tend to tee up quite high aiming for launch, but this has made me think about adjusting the 3w too. I enjoy these type of videos by the way. Many thanks.

[@nevillehubbard7347]

Very interesting! I shall be trying to use tip #03 tomorrow and try to get my shoulders more sloped and my head further behind the ball in order to hit up on it! Your stats in the studio were enlightening!!!

[@6287sarah]

Tip 4 for me mark makes so much sense thank you 🙏

[@eagle-mangolf271]

Very interesting.. i think the teeing up on each side of the box tip will help me the most because my shot shape is a fade and I always try to tee the ball up on the left side of the box so I can stay farther away from the side I hit towards but it makes since to tee it up on the side you have a tendency to hit toward. Love it. Ill test it out tomorrow morning

[@joshgrabekcrazygolferguy9302]

Tip 2 is really interesting to me. I will be giving it a go this weekend on the course as I normally just setup middle of the box but this tip makes so much sense. Lining up right or left to visualize the shot you want whilst taking out a potential OB or hazard in view. Then again tip 4 is really great as well. Good stuff all around gents.

[@barrymills8597]

Tip no 4. Probably the biggest mistake amateur golfers make. Great video guys

[@chrishartney]

Great video. I am enjoying your series of course management videos, hey are a great help to me as an inexperienced golfer. In this video the tip that resonates the most with me is taking a 3 wood to lay up short. he course that I play most often has a hole with a pair of fairway bunkers on either side of the fairway. They are 230 to 240 from the tee and 26 to 270 to clear them. They are within my reach and I have frequently paid the price, having to hit an 8 or 9 iron out, as they have quite high backs. I will definitely be laying up with a gentle 3 wood or a recovery iron. Thanks for drawing the obvious to my attention

[@talltimball]

Tip 2 all day, thanks fellas

[@larrym3280]

Driver is my best club so I would pick tip #4. Great video!

[@wolfyand1]

Tip #4 was my favourite. Course management is just so underrated for us hacks. Putting the ego back in the bag and selecting the right club leads to golf that is more fun and stress free. "Driving god"

[@ronniefromOR]

Great stuff boys.. Thanks.. Love this kind of video

[@Kush1192]

"Driving God" like Coach. I think you talked about this before in a previous video, but lining up on the tee box to open up the hole has helped the most. Stay safe Bruh.
