Take Vitamin “R” to Cure Driver Syndrome

Recently proclaimed by one of my students who was struggling with his driver, 

“I can’t stop trying to
kill the ball!“

The prescription: 

Vitamin “R” = Relax

Slacken the tension, borne of your efforts. (Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtra, 2:47)
Swing within yourself. Focus on balance, continuously light grip pressure, and tempo.  This is the cure for symptoms of chaotic tee shots.  

Side effects may include consistently straighter and more powerful drives.  For best results, take vitamin “R”  at the start of every hole, and repeat as needed.
