Hitting a hole in one is one of the most awe-inspiring feats a golfer can accomplish. Moreover, the techniques required to sink hole-in-one shots can help improve your golf game by strengthening your swing and stance.
As you approach the tee, take a few moments to analyze the hole. Going for an ace on a tricky course could send your ball veering wildly to one side, making it difficult to get back on track and hurting your chance at making par or below.
If a hole in one seems achievable, square yourself at the tee by lining up your left shoulder with the hole. Place your left foot underneath your left shoulder. Now ready yourself to take a full swing. Bring your club back to shoulder height and swing through, aiming for maximum speed and velocity.
Try to finish high, swinging all the way through the ball. You need power and distance to land on the green since, if you end up missing, it's better to miss long than fall short.
