Re: hitting the ball before the ground if the ground is hit at all

hi golfingguy
maybe you should get away from the idea of hitting the ball and think more about swing the club and letting the ball just get in the club's way and that way let the club do the work. if you think of a point as few inches ahead of the ball and think of that as impact area and not the ball then i think you will start swinging through the ball cleaner.

Re: hitting the ball before the ground if the ground is hit at all

I was just discussing this very thing with a guy who's getting pretty good at being a swing coach. The idea is that not very many golfers know how they're supposed to be using their clubs.

Stick a tee in the ground 3 inches in front of the ball, with the top of the tee level with the top of the grass. Swing so that you take out the tee and hit the ball.

If you're topping it, move the tee towards the ball a half inch, and try again.
