Anyone interested in adding an extra 20 - 30 yards to your golf drives?

Just follow this quick tip and you'll have to go through and re-do all of your yardages for every club in your bag.

The secret is not some core rotational exercise (although those can be awesome).

No, this is so simple that you won't believe it until you try it.

It's all about the placement of YOUR TONGUE!

I first learned about the position of the tongue increasing overall strength while over in India. One of my gurus would explain that it helped to "complete the circuit" and give him strength and stamina while holding static Yoga poses.

Of course it sounded kinda weird, but then again, this dude could hold a handstand for over an hour! He probably only stopped there out of boredom. But the guy was definitely onto something.

So what does this have to do with you and increasing your golf drives?

Here's all you have to do to find out:

Gently place your tongue up on the roof of your mouth, with the tip resting against the back of your front top teeth. Gently hold it in that position while you swing.

This will "close the circuit"...whatever the heck that means.

Actually, I do know at least one theory, but let's just keep this results-oriented.

Let me be clear about this - it should be gentle and subtle. Do NOT focus on it�so that it becomes yet another swing thought.

To try this out for yourself, simply go to the range and warm up. Then pick a club and hit 10 balls "without tongue" and note the distance. Then hit 10 ball "with tongue" and compare. Be sure to compare only those shots with similar quality of contact.

The chances are very good that you will notice increased distance on your golf drives when you "add a little tongue".
