I want to hit my driver off the deck

- By Advanced PGA Pro Katie Dawkins

First things first, do not take this tough shot on if the lie isn’t perfect. Consider the fact it’s not going to go that high, so be careful of hazards. Set-up wise, move the ball a touch further back in your stance – a clubhead inside the lead heel. Aim a little left (right-handers) to allow for a fade, as you want as much dynamic loft as possible.

Then, focus on brushing the grass and finishing the swing. In fact, take a few practice swings trying to do just that. Don’t force it, let that ball get in the way – you swing and the club will do all the work for you.
