Driver

Tee shots on par-4 and par-5 holes where fairway is wide and distance is the goal.

Grip

Hold lightly — grip pressure ~4 out of 10. Avoid squeezing. Interlock or overlap — your choice.

Feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Flare both feet slightly outward for mobility.

Forward in stance — inside left heel (for right-handers).

Tilt spine slightly away from target (right-side tilt). Feel weight balanced on both feet, slightly favoring the right (trail) foot.

Sweep the ball off the tee. Low, wide takeaway. Let the club do the work — don't force it.

Hit slightly on the upswing — the sweet spot is the center of the clubface, slightly above the club's equator.

Swinging too hard and losing balance. You should be able to hold your finish without falling over.

Tee a ball, make 5 half-speed swings focusing on balance at finish. Then make 3 full swings staying in balance.

This is a beginner refresher, not professional instruction — see a PGA pro for swing changes.
