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.

Weight Shift
Once you've mastered the one piece take away you then need to combine that with the movement of shifting your weight to your right side at the beginning of your swing. This lateral shifting of your weight to the right means that your head, hips and shoulders ALL move to the right also.
Now we're not talking about huge distances here. Only a couple of inches to the right by the time the club is parallel to the ground.
Also, please take special note that I said your head should also move to the right at the start of your swing. You don't want it to remain still otherwise you run the risk of doing a reverse pivot and that's disastrous.
Now when you move your weight to the right it must NEVER go to the outside of your right foot. Also this weight shift should occur very early in your backswing, i.e. once the club reaches a position where it is parallel with the ground all the weight shift that should occur in your backswing should have long taken place.
OK, that's the take away covered. And again, it's very, very important that you get the take away correct because everything else in the swing will be much easier if you do.
