If you want to hit the golf ball further, more accurately and more solidly then you want to work on your down swing being less steep, so that you can rotate your body more through impact. A steep down swing results in you using your arms far too much as you strike the golf ball, which reduces your power and club face control. Try this easy to set up drill to get your arms closer to your body on your down swing when you are next at the range, so that you shallow your down swing and make a better body turn and swing, through impact.

There is nothing more annoying than walking up the fairway following a great tee shot, to find your golf ball has rolled into a divot that hasn’t been replaced. Knowing how to tackle this situation effectively will allow you to still hit a great golf shot into the green from this bad lie and you won’t ruin your scorecard!
