Divot Information

Remember I mentioned the divot happens after the ball, well here is a link to some information that you might be interested in. It will help improve your golf! Bobby Clampett has written a book called "The Impact Zone" and it is one of the best golf instruction books ever written. I would encourage everyone to own a copy! Click here to buy a copy of the book.

"The swing of the average PGA Tour player bottoms out four inches in front of the ball. The average swing bottom of a high-handicapper is an inch or so behind the ball. Considering the difference, it's no wonder there are so many golfers who can't meet their scoring goals.
I wouldn't even want to play if I couldn't hit the ball solidly. I believe a high-handicap golfer would reduce his or her average score by four strokes for every forward inch of improvement made on the swing bottom. In other words, if you want to break a scoring barrier, focus on improving your club's position through the impact zone. This also applies to the short game." Bobby Clampett.

What you see above is what has been discovered in research. The better the player the further after impact the swing bottoms out. So where the divot happens matters!! It has a direct correlation to a golfer improving their scores. The text and picture above have been taken from the golf digest website.
