Nick Dougherty gets set to blast one off the tee
Step 1

Take a wider stance than usual and stand two or three inches further back from the ball than you normally do.

The ball should be positioned just inside your left heel.

Tee the ball up so about half of it shows above the head of the driver.

Accuracy is more important than distance.

To focus your mind, aim at a small target, such as a hollow or mark on the fairway, rather than a general one.
