Hack of the worst kind...
Hey,
I'm a self taught golfer who started getting serious just this year. I've been hitting the range 2-3 times a week and watching a ton of videos. I feel like my swing is starting to get pretty decent, though I do have one issue that I'm not sure how to fix. I flip my wrists a lot to square up the face of the club on my iron shots which leads to me not taking a divot at all (picking the ball off the ground) and a very, very high ball flight. My PW goes about 80-85 yards and it seems like it goes almost 125-150 feet in the air (by my best estimate). I know the solution to this is to lead with the hands and "lag" the club head behind the hands/torso. However, whenever I try to keep my arms extended and not flip the wrists through the downswing, I end up digging up about 6 inches of turf 3-4" behind the ball. How do I stop doing that?
