On short pitches I can take a divot, full swing with irons, no divot, the ball is hit low on the face. I had my lie checked on my irons the other day and I could not hit the lie board for anything. I want to tear some turf, any suggestions? Again, I am having the issue with full swings, not partial shots. Intellectually, I know it should not be that hard to hit the ground with a golf club. Focus on sending your hands 'down to the ground' at spot about 3 feet in front of the ball. Forget the ball. Drive your hands to that spot. __________________ "Support the On Plane Swinging Force in Balance" "we have no friends, we have no enemies, we have only teachers" Simplicity buffs, see 5-0, 1-L, 2-0 A and B 10-2-B, 4-D, 6B-1D, 6-B-3-0-1, 6-C-1, 6-E-2 EdZ View Public Profile Send a private message to EdZ Find all posts by EdZ
