Hitting Longer Drives – Learning Plan

Want more distance off the tee? Here’s the 3-lesson plan I trust to help you hit longer drives—starting with clean contact and building toward smarter swing mechanics.

What’s the real key to distance?

It’s not just swing speed – it’s where you strike the ball. Hitting the center of your driver clubface is the first step to unlocking more distance. These three lessons offer practical, easy-to-follow ways to improve your contact, angle of attack, and setup for longer drives.

Lesson 1: Three Tips for More Driver Distance

Christina breaks this down beautifully. Her three tips are simple, clear, and easy to try – even if you’re short on time. If you’re not sure where to start, this lesson gives you a solid foundation.

Lesson 2: Would You Like 10 More Yards With Your Driver?

Susan’s energy is contagious and her advice is practical. She focuses on small adjustments that can add real yardage, especially if you’re already making decent contact but want more carry.

Lesson 3: Get More Distance With Your Driver

Cathy’s explanation of angle of attack is one of the clearest I’ve seen. If you tend to hit down on the ball or struggle with launch, this lesson can help you gain distance without swinging harder.

Just a reminder—I’m the site editor, not a teaching pro. For personalized help, always seek advice from a qualified instructor either here on WomensGolf.com or in person. More distance off the tee builds confidence and should result in lower scores. And I’m confident that trying even one of these tips this week could help you hit it longer and straighter.

Good luck – here’s to more powerful drives!

Welcome to Women's Golf Established 2014

Why Women's Golf is different.

We're not part of a big media company. My husband Richard and I started Women's Golf in 2014 because I couldn't find online golf lessons that were truly designed for women golfers. I wanted to create the kind of place I wished had existed, a welcoming, ad-free home where women could learn from the world's best instructors.

I look after our members, our instructors and the lessons we share, while Richard takes care of the technology behind the scenes that keeps Women's Golf running.

• Designed for Women: Tailored instruction built specifically around how women learn and play.

Stop Hanging Back by Fixing Your Closed Clubface

If you struggle with hanging back and fat or thin shots, your grip might be to blame. LPGA Professional Elena King explains how an overly strong grip forces the clubface closed at impact, leading to a destructive instinct to hang back and scoop the ball into the air.
