A golf divot is when you hit the ground after you have hit the ball. To make a good divot you need to know the bottom of your golf swing. Do practice golf swing to find the bottom of your golf swing and move the golf ball slightly in front of where you hit the grass. Where you hit the grass: that is you divot.
The following divot drill video by Jay will show you a practice drill that will teach you how to get a divot in a golf swing.
Creating a divot means you are hitting the ball first, then the ground. A divot before the ball is called a “fat shot”. A fat shot loses a tremendous amount of distance.
Putting is around half of your golfing score. It is important to practice your putting in order to play rewarding golf. The only way to become a better putter is to work on the basics of putting, stance, grip, eye-line, body movement. Work on your golf putting drill and you will lower your score.
Basics of Golf Putting drill
Gripping the putter can be done in so many ways, but it is important not to have a dominant hand, as you are looking for a relaxed combination of shoulders, arm and hands for a smooth stroke.
The easiest way to stop your lower body moving during your putting stroke is to make yourself knock-kneed. This will automatically put your weight onto the inside of the sole of your shoes. Now, if you make a stroke you will see that the lower body, legs and knees stay still.
