Golf Driver Practice: This is a sub-article for How to Break 80 focused on how get your Driver in tune at the beginning of the season. Your golf driver practice shoul naturally begin before other areas of your golf practice because you can simulate the conditions of Driving the ball easier that with irons, chips shots, sand shots and putting. All you need is a tee and a heated driving range or an indoor driving range to practice with you Driver in the winter. Hitting irons, putting and chipping off and onto artificial surfaces does more damage to amateur golf swing that good many times. So now the question is what should you practice? Here are my top nine things you should practice and/or figure out.

• Number 1: Practice with a glove and establish the grip pressure you will use with your Driver.

• Number 2: Practice aligning your hands in accordance with the markings and/or wording on your grip.

• Number 3: Practice setting up with and swing through with the hands the proper distance from your body.
