The problem is kicking in with the acquired and full motion where i end up just brushing the grass or taking a very small divot(perhaps because the "hit" impulse becomes to great?).

Any ideas or drills which will help me take it to the course?

Thanks
Check your grip at impact fix. Flat left/bend right. Often a mis-aligned grip can be compensated for during a short motion, but the alignment problem shows up with a fuller motion.

Get into impact fix and try hitting punch shots from there.

Mentally draw a straight line Delivery Path from your #3 Pressure Point to the ball and move you Hands along that line. Practice in fromt of a mirror and with your eyes closed. Down and Out to low point. As pointed out previously, Drive the Ball into the Ground per 6-E-2-1.
