Do you Hit The Golf Ball or Swing The Club?  I viewed a great video on YouTube that may help you answer the question.  Click Here to see the video:

It is a very good question to ask yourself.  I had to ask myself which one I was doing.  Obviously, we swing the club in order to hit the ball…but what is running through your head when you swing the club.  Are you thinking swing or are you thinking hitting the ball?

I was at a Trade Show several years back when Butch Harmon was giving a presentation. He said “The ball should simply get in the way of a really good swing” (or something like to that)…and he offered a free lesson on an easy way to gain 10 yards in just 10 seconds…”Play from to the white tees”.

But seriously, Butch Harmon was basically telling us that all you’ve got to do is swing the golf club really well and just let the ball get in the way.  I know it sounds easy, but heck, what have you got to loose?  Maybe, just maybe a few strokes.
