Symptom: Topping the ball off the ground, scooping or duffing the ball off the tee.
Overview: You should hit the golf ball with a descending blow. In other words, hit the ball, then the ground. You will take your divot from the grass ahead of your ball, not behind the ball.
Why it works: The lowest point of your swing is where the power of your swing starts to fade. This needs to be after you strike the ball, not before. And, of course the first thing you should hit is the ball, not the ground (except on an explosion shot out of the bunker). Pay close attention to the pros on TV; they take enormous divots from the fairway but always from ahead of the ball.
We'll have Tiger demonstrate this for us, but almost any pro golfer (or single-digit handicapper, for that matter) would do just as nicely:
Try the hitting the tee beyond the ball drill, the two-ball drill, and the sunken tee drill to help you hit the ball first.
