He shared: “I don’t know what kind of wind carried my ball that far. (Laughs). But honestly, I was really excited about it.”
It seems that TV host Binh Minh does not believe this drive was simply luck. According to him, it was the result of consistent training. After nearly five years of playing golf, the former model achieved a single-digit handicap in just over a year and a half. At one point, his handicap dropped as low as 7. Currently, due to a busy business schedule, he maintains an index of around 10. Binh Minh also once competed in the National Amateur Golf Championship and successfully made the cut after two days of walking and competing under demanding conditions.
Sharing the secret behind his long drive, Binh Minh highlighted several key factors:
– Practice proper technique: Golf is a sport that requires players to build a solid technical foundation before improving and advancing their skills.
– Train consistently: Once golfers identify techniques that suit them, dedicated practice becomes the key to turning theory into real performance. Nothing replaces repetition and familiarity.
– Find the right driver and shaft: One clear advantage comes from choosing a driver and shaft that match the golfer’s swing characteristics. Investing in a quality shaft helps transfer acceleration efficiently to the clubhead and ultimately to the ball.
– Choose the right golf ball: This may seem minor but can make a major difference. Different golf ball brands offer different characteristics and distance performance. Selecting the right ball can maximize trajectory and overall driving distance.
– Keep learning from professionals: Binh Minh values continuous improvement and is always willing to learn from others. He previously trained with Tran Le Duy Nhat and more recently exchanged techniques with Pro Nguyen Dinh Chau.
– Build physical fitness: Although blessed with good height, Binh Minh never neglects fitness training and physical conditioning. According to him, stronger physical ability contributes to better swings and longer shots.
