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.
