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.

Pitching Problem
What will totally help your pitching swing?
Practice!
You've got to
practice swinging back shorter than a full swing and then follow-through. And
here's the most important point from these instructions. When pitching you
should always follow-through further than your backswing.
The reason for this is simple.
By following through further than your backswing you are creating a swing that will accelerate through the ball. If you don't do this, then your results are going to be inconsistent at best and disastrous at worst.
So I want you to practice a shorter swing and for consistent pitch shots you must make sure that your ball position is the same time after time. I suggest that you have your ball positioned in the middle of your stance as I'm demonstrating below. Do not have it any further forward than this unless you are playing a flop shot (high shot).
From a setup position similar to this (see picture 1) I want you to take your club back halfway so your arm is parallel to the ground (see picture 2). Now from this position simply follow-through but DO NOT stop at a position similar to picture 4 but carry on through until you achieve a position similar to picture 5.
So to improve your pitching simply keep practicing this back and through motion, with or without a ball. And remember on all pitch shots to follow-through further than your backswing and you'll dramatically improve your consistency.
One last point:
Don't forget to really exaggerate the short backswing and the long follow-through. This will help.
