LET YOUR HEAD TURN ON THE FOLLOW-THROUGH

Players of all skill levels often listen to the advice of others to "keep your head down"! This advice usually occurs after topping or skulling a golf shot. Topping the golf ball happens from an outside-in golf swing or scooping the wrists at impact.

One of the most important moves in your golf swing is to follow the flight of the golf ball. If you keep down, you will have a difficult time shifting your weight forward and hitting fully through the shot. All of your athletic ability and swings energy should be directed to the target.

Let your head turn with your follow-through and then work on solid contact into the golf ball.
