Struggling With Your Long Clubs? Try These Tips
Use A 3-wood For Tee Shots

Contrary to popular belief, a driver does not go much farther than a 3-wood unless it is in the hands of a very skilled player. The loft and length of the 3-wood make it easier to control and improve the trajectory of your shots, helping the ball carry in the air a greater distance.

Try this, play a few rounds and hit a driver and a 3-wood off each tee. Track the scores you produce with each club, and I think you will be surprised with the results. Stick with the club that works best for you to maximize your scoring potential.

Replace Long Irons With Lofted Woods
The long irons [2-, 3-, and 4-iron] are clubs many players have a great deal of trouble hitting. Because of their relatively low loft angles, the tendency is to try to help the ball up, which often results in a topped shot. Conversely, high-lofted fairway woods [5-, 7- , 9- and even 11-wood] allow you to get the ball airborne more readily because of the loft, mass and lower center of gravity. They are also good out of tight lies and deep grass, making them very versatile weapons. Try these lofted woods and see how quickly they become your favorite clubs.
