Stop Hitting Behind The Golf Ball (the easy way)

PGA Professional Georgia Ball demonstrates how to stop hitting behind the golf ball by fixing common weight transfer issues. She breaks down the 'duff' shot into three segments: correcting ball position, eliminating the sway through proper rotation, and using the 'Tee Drill' to ensure ball-first contact.

• Position mid-irons just left of center in your stance to align the swing's low point correctly.
• Avoid swaying away from the ball; keep your sternum centered during the backswing and shift weight forward on the downswing.
• Ensure your hands 'win the race' to the ball, reaching impact before the clubhead to compress the strike.
• The Tee Drill is an effective way to provide instant feedback on whether you are hitting the ball before the ground.
• Maintain weight in the balls of your feet during setup to allow for better hip rotation and stability.
