Divot Diagnostics

If you hit the ball straight, your divot should be on-line and should start immediately in front of the location of the golf ball. If you hit the ground before you hit the golf ball, your shot will be “fat” and the distance dramatically reduced. A divot that points inside-out designates a push or hook. A divot that points to the inside means you have pulled or sliced your shot.
Using this method during a round can instantly diagnose your swing problems.
