SKILL PATHWAYS: DRIVER
The most satisfying and the most devastating club in your bag. It really should be the club that is one of the easiest to hit. It creates the most force. So if you know how to react to that force it should be easier. It also is a club that is most of the time hit off a tee. Which makes impact easier. Because it diminishes the importance of angle of approach. Many angles work. It is interesting that what helps you hit the driver your maximum is not necessarily strength but the use of the forces around us. So it is not as much effort as it might seem to hit it plenty far to participate at most any level.
