Marco Penge keeps the tee shot compact before the release

SportLocation Golf Desk · 11 Sept 2026

Marco Penge’s tee shot is all about the first move away from the ball, with a tidy setup leading into a full, high finish.

Marco Penge stands over the ball with a wide base, low hands and the driver set squarely behind the tee. It is a calm starting point, with the body still and the clubhead waiting for the first move.

The key is the takeaway. Penge sends the club away without any fuss, letting the shoulders turn and the lower body stay organised as the ball remains on the tee for a beat longer.

By the finish, the swing has opened up into a full release, the club high across his body and the tee area empty. It is a clean, direct driver action built on a controlled start.
