If the hole in front of you is fairly open and you know that a long drive will set up a good birdie opportunity, make a couple of minor adjustments to produce extra distance.
Firstly, tee the ball up a little higher than usual. This will help you find more carry through the air.
Next concentrate on making a slightly bigger turn during the backswing.
As your back rotates to face the target, you'll generate extra torque that will translate into valuable extra clubhead speed through the downswing.
