How to Hit More Fairways: The One Tip You’ll Need
Every golfer wants to start the hole with confidence—and nothing builds that confidence like seeing your drive land safely in the fairway. But consistency off the tee is easier said than done, right?
At J Whitaker Academy, we believe in keeping it simple. So, here’s the one tip you need to start hitting more fairways:
Pick a Smaller Target Within the Fairway
Most golfers step onto the tee box and aim for “the fairway” in general. But that’s like trying to hit a dartboard by aiming at the wall. The trick? Narrow your focus. Choose a specific point—maybe a patch of grass, a tree in the distance, or the corner of a bunker—and make that your target.
By picking a small, defined target, your mind sharpens its focus, your alignment improves naturally, and your swing becomes more committed. This isn’t just mental—it leads to better physical execution.
Quick Tip Recap:
• Don’t aim at the whole fairway
• Pick a specific spot as your target
• Let your brain and body do the rest
More fairways hit = more chances to attack greens = lower scores.
