How to Tee-Off without getting Teed-Off
Do you ever have the problem, no matter how hard you try, no matter what you
do you just can't hit that ball up in the air? Do you end up toppin it? Or barely get it
above ground? Well you know golf is a funny game because it's largely a game of
opposites. And one of the opposites that you must grasp is that if you want the ball
to go up you have to hit down. Now for most beginners that's a hard concept to grasp
but even for some experienced golfers it's a difficult one to actually do.

Downswing
When looking at a downswing of my students there are two major things I look for. The first is the angle formed between the left arm and golf club. It should be at 45 degrees or less like this…
Why?
Well, ever heard of the term...."a late release"?
Whether you've heard of it or not I want to clarify exactly what it is just so we're on the same page, so to speak. A late release is the term used to describe the angle formed between the left arm and golf club shaft in the downswing. And the less angle you have at this point the better. Because having a late release will help you to generate more clubhead speed and hit the ball further which I'm sure you'd enjoy.
Next, when I'm analyzing a golfer's transition and downswing I look down the line at a golfer's swing at the half way point. At that point you can clearly see how good that golfer's swing is as far as direction and accuracy is concerned. When the left arm is parallel with the ground the golf club shaft should be angled so that it's either pointing at the ball or to the right of the ball like this....
At the halfway point in the downswing the shaft of your club should point either at the ball or to the right of the ball like this.
