F-ck Yeah Baby!
Alright so 2018 has been a mix of ups and downs, but more so ups, thankfully. Handicap has went from 14 to sub 11.
My problem in the beginning of the year was hitting behind the golf ball and having a lot of misses to the right, high spin misses to the right. My eyes would be focused behind the golf ball or the inside of the golf ball.
So after some lessons and key points to work on my coach told me to look in front of the golf ball, like 3-4 inches in front of the ball. Find my target, set my club, and have my eyes fixated to that piece of grass or whatever in front of the ball to hit down on it.
I even do this with driver which is weird but am used to it. Point being, by me looking ahead of the ball it helps with some forward shaft lean at impact, some divots, and finishing the swing by extending throughout the downswing. Even with chipping I don't look at the ball, I find my spot, and the golf ball simply gets in the way of my intended target.
My divots aren't large by any means, golf ball sized divots, nothing more but sometimes less, even when I hit the ball only it travels well. I'm not making golf club sized divots I see my friends make with the occasional pancake piece of grass being flipped in the air. Some of my friends really compress the ball well and launch it.
Question to Freddie, is this something you have ever taught students? Or case by case basis? Weird concept but it works well for me.
