Why can't I hit a good golf shot?

For golfers who, all of a sudden, can't hit a golf ball, chances are the balance is being lost on the backswing. As you take the club back, weight needs to transfer to your right leg and then to the left foot as you swing the club through.

Why do I keep missing the golf ball when I swing?

Usually it is caused by golfers who don't commit their body through the shot. During the swing they start to stand up tall before impact which leads to the club coming through above the ball and therefore you miss over the top.

Why do I completely miss the golf ball?

The most common one is when you're too close to the ball, whether you start out that way or you fall toward the ball on the downswing. You also could be swinging too much around your body in the backswing, which can make you swing outward too much on the downswing, exposing the hosel to the ball.

Where do you look in the golf swing?

If you're continually hitting the ground before the ball, focus your eyes on the front edge (target side) of the ball during the swing. It may not seem like much—the diameter of the golf ball is just 1.68 inches—but shifting your sight line forward even this small amount nudges your center of gravity toward the target.

Should you swing hard in golf?

How hard should you really swing in golf? In golf, you should swing as hard as you can without losing your balance and posture. The longer you can hit the ball off the tee, the easier scoring becomes as you'll leave yourself less distance into the green.

Do whiffs count in golf?

Under the Rules of Golf, any stroke in which you intend to hit the ball counts. It doesn't matter how far the ball goes. If you swing and miss, and you were trying to hit the ball, then it counts. If you take another swing at it, then you're counting your next stroke after the whiff.

What is the most important shot in golf?

On the other side, many argue that the putt is the most important. One such advocate was the legendary teaching pro Harvey Penick, who strongly believed that the short game, around the green, was the essence of scoring well. He contended that a two foot putt counted just as much as a tee shot.

Does an air swing count in golf?

No matter how many times a player swings, if the club does not touch the ball, it is not considered a stroke. However, when the ball moves with an air shot, it counts as one stroke.

Is it a penalty if you knock your ball off the tee?

Knocking the ball off the tee by accident is not intent to hit the ball so it doesn't count as a stroke. Put the ball back on the tee and hit away with no penalty. The teeing area is a special part of the golf course.
