Too many players struggle to contact the golf ball before contacting the ground. When a player contacts the ground first, this is called a fat shot. In this video Director of Instruction Derek Hooper outlines why this happens and demonstrates a series of drills you can work through to ensure you make ball first contact every time.

This is a really great video. I have a problem with hitting fat and I will definitely try these 1/4 and 1/2 swing drills on my next practice session. Thanks!
