Andrew Rice
It’s important to have a ‘go-to’ driver shot for high-pressure situations and those holes that just don’t fit your eye. In this tip, Andrew Rice explains how you can identify what your 'go-to' shot is and how it will help you shoot lower scores.

Daily Video Tips
When you use your go to swing, with a slight cut or fade, do you slightly open the club face and then aim to the left?
Ideally, you would align the clubface to the target you want the ball to start towards - in this case the right side of the bunker he mentioned - and then swing along a stance line set up a little more to the left of where you have aimed your club face (right hander)
Keep the club face in your regular starting position John! That's why it's your "go to" as it's what you typically do.
I like the sound of that James!!
Andrew, do you shallow out the swing on the 'go-to?' ....or just use the regular swing with the ball tee'd lower?
Thanks, RBR
Regular swing should get it done Richard!
Another great tip! This works, trust me ! I use this mentality a lot and even choke down on the shaft and drive always lands in the short grass!! Thank you again Andrew for making the time to make us all better golfers.
Thanks so much Thomas. I appreciate the note.
Andrew, we probably also choke down little bit as you suggested in other tip. With the ball teed up low, what would be the best angle of attack (i.e., hit down or hit up as a regular tee shot)?
Thanks,
Try to keep the attack angle fairly neutral Sam! Not a fan of too much down.
Good Drill!!!! Thanks!
