How to fix poor contact

Here’s something our Gary Player Golf Experience professional’s suggest will be very beneficial for anyone who practises and works on their golf swing.

Try This!
The next time you're at the range, pull up some grass from an inconspicuous spot and place the pile one club-head in front of the ball on the practice mat. On each swing, try to hit the ball, then the grass.

Why It Works
Great iron shots happen when you swing down into the ball and take a divot in front of it. Catching the ball off the surface and taking the grass pile in front along for the ride helps you groove this type of contact. If you can't swipe the grass in front of the ball, try pulling your left hip pocket toward the target at the start of your downswing and then turning it behind you. You should see — and feel — an immediate difference.
