Accuracy off the tee can be helped by starting with a few basics. Focus on making a balanced swing with good weight shift, then getting up on to the right toe in the follow-through. See how I’ve made a full turn towards the target here. Everything is balanced and in control.

It’s helpful to get a good idea of the initial direction of the ball’s journey and your shot shape. Use a couple of alignment sticks at the range to create a gate. I’d also recommend using face tape or spray to show how consistently you’re finding the centre of the clubface. 3

Amateurs don’t tend to give the tee box and how it can be used to their advantage enough thought. Here, I’ve placed my ball to the righthand side so I can play away from the trouble. I’m aiming at the left edge of the fairway bunkers in the distance, as this is the centre of the fairway. Just commit to your normal swing and trust yourself.
