Do you know what is one of the most important elements to improve your golf swing?
I would consider it one of the most important elements in your golf swing and if you don’t have this, then it is what you need to work on.
I just mentioned before that the most important thing in a golf swing is not your grip. Yes, your grip is incredibly important and I will say that you need to have the right grip but that’s not what I am going to talk about today.
I am going to talk to you today about making sure that you are staying down through your shot in your golf swing. That is the most important thing. I’m going to say it again; the most important thing is for you to stay down in your swing at contact.
You cannot come up and see where the ball has gone. You cannot lift up to watch it go. Got it?
This is what we are going to do. The reason I’m sharing this with you is because I see a lot of people do this. When they go to hit a ball and they get set and they’ve got their target and everything ready to go, they’ll hit and then come up to see where the ball has gone.
What did I just say the most important thing in your swing is. "Staying down through the shot." It’s not about just having your head down. There is a lot more to it than just keeping the head down. But, what I want you to be aware of is that your body needs to stay down through the ball. Which means that your right shoulder has to stay down through the shot. That’s all I’m going to tell you because I don’t want to give you too much information.
The other thing I want you to make sure you are doing is maintaining your contact through the ball as long as possible. (refer to video above).
When you come down to make contact with the ball. So when you go up in your swing and come down to make contact with the ball, you want to make sure that your right shoulder stays low and that you are staying down through the shot, you’re not popping up to see what has actually happened.
That is your tip from Tiff for today.

Are you planning any group lessons up at Terrey Hills? I did a pitching clinic some time ago with you – but certainly could do with another! (And I loved your skiing pic! Go Tiff!)
