Don't fight the fade

Anyone watching me practice will notice that all my divots go way left of the target. I tend to take the club away outside the line and then cut across it coming through. That's what I do naturally. That is my 'straight shot'. I aim down the left-hand side of every fairway and every green. It means I have the full width of any fairway or green to aim at. If you fire straight at the flag, then your margin for error is much smaller. I love it when pins are located on the right of greens because then the set-up favours me.

Get more loft on your driver

One of the biggest mistakes amateurs make is that they don't have enough loft on their driver. The most accurate drivers are slightly toed in with loft. We all tend to go for 8 degrees of loft with a square face and they are very difficult to control. I use 12.3 degrees of loft - it's one of the more lofted drivers on Tour - but I hit down on the ball by 4 degrees because I get onto my left side quicker than most. Having a little extra loft on the driver gives you an extra club when playing from the fairway. The best shot I've ever hit came on the last hole in Dubai in 1996 when I hit a driver over the water.
