Learn the Distance Golf Techniques That Show You How to Drive Long

Most golfers want to learn how to drive long off the tee. That is because added distance gives us a shorter and easier second shot to the green. Some of the golf swing instruction guide books claim to teach us how to add more distance; an extra few yards or so.
These guide books, though, are aimed at the beginner or recreational golfer. They teach you everything about the golf swing; from the grip and setup, to the backswing and follow through. But if you are a more accomplished golfer that is looking for more detailed information about how to drive long, you will need to go to the distance golf experts.
The Long Drivers of America
The first website that you should check out is the Long Drivers of America. They are the golf association that runs the Remax Long Drive Championship. They are into learning the power golf swing for attaining maximum golf distance. So, if you want to participate in the Re/Max World Long Drive Championship, then you need to visit the LDA website.
Mike Austin
Unbelievably, the Worlds longest golf drive has not been broken since 1974. Golfing legend, Mike Austin, holds the Guinness World Record for longest drive in a tournament. His record breaking 515-yard drive was accomplished at the 1974 U.S. National Senior Open in Las Vegas – at the age of 64!
The golf equipment doesn’t have that much to do with how far you can drive the ball – Austin used a 43.5 inch steel shafted, wood head driver! Although, today’s long drive champions prefer 2X or 3X, extra stiff shafts that are up to 50 inches long, with driver lofts that are as low as 5 or 6 degrees.
How To Drive Long Off The Tee
For most of us, we just want to learn how to drive long and to improve our general golf game. Even if you have a decent grip and swing, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you will have a good golf distance off the tee. The major factor that you need to improve is your golf club head speed. Every 1 mph of increased golf swing speed translates into about 2.5 yards of distance. If you increase your swing speed, you’ll increase your distance.
Obviously, there are other factors to perfect if you want to learn how to drive long. Golf flexibility and fitness training will improve your overall golf game, as well as your distance. Another important area of your game that you should know about is the mental game of golf. These areas of golf are usually ignored by most golfers, but they are crucial if you want to take your game to the next level.
A Distance Golf Instructor
So, if you really want to learn how to drive long, you will need a professional golf instructor who knows what is required for distance golf. If you are currently hitting drives of 200 yards, then adding a few yards to your drives won’t help you much. You need to find someone that has been where you are and who can now hit 350 to 430 yard drives.

hi all everybody plz watches in my videos and rating .. plz plz plz !!!!!
As a golfer who carries a 1.6 handicap and shoots around par, I have 3 things that I feel you need to work on in order to improve your golf swing technique and start playing good golf in a short amount of time.
1. The first thing is to focus on a good grip. This is crucial because it is your only link to the golf club. You want two knuckles showing on the left hand (If you are right handed) and you want to make sure that your grip pressure is light. Gripping the club hard causes tension, which is not good for the golf swing.
2. The second thing that you should work on is your stance and backswing. Make sure that you have a good posture, and that you set up to the ball "like an athelete." This will help you a lot to improve your golf swing technique. You should start your backswing by letting your hands, arms, and shoulders move away from the ball at the same time.
3. The third thing is to start your downsing by rotating, not swaying your front hip toward the ball. This will increase your power and accuracy. Just make sure that you do not start the downswing with your hands, as this is a big no no!
You may want to look at quality golf training manual to get you started with a good golf swing technique. I know this helped me out: http://swing-a-golf-club.blogspot.com

Omfg, it just looks like a picture
Beautiful video!
It is very easy to summarize the rules of golf:
1. Play the ball as it lies.
2. Play the course as you find it.
3. The player is responsible for everything that happens.
The tough part is understanding how to apply those principles correctly in every situation, and knowing what to do when you are in a spot where you can't do them.
If you go the library or bookstore, you will find dozens and dozens of books on golf techniques and strategies. It would be impossible to summarize them here.
To learn the history of golf, you can read a book. I know that sounds weird, but that's why people write books. You can even do a web search for "golf history". You might actually learn something on your own.
