Dont keep your head down

 You’re on the range and someone says “Keep your head down!”

This is what will happen if you follow this well-meaning but ill-advised advice:

• At address, your chin will be tucked into your chest, causing your posture to be too crouched.
• Keeping your head down at impact will block the natural release of the club-head and your weight transfer, resulting in inconsistency.
• You will also likely fall back at impact, forcing your upper body to lift up – this is what gives the impression that you’re lifting your head.

Your GPGE Prescription:

• Lift your chin – this will allow your shoulders to turn unrestricted, thereby supporting maintenance of your spine angle.
• Remember to tilt from the waist.
• When the club-head hits the ball, allow your head to follow the ball in a natural manner. The ball is on it’s way – there is no sense in keeping your head down any longer.

Practise this on the World of Golf target tees or, if you have grass tee membership, even better there!
