Left Hand Golf Tip: How to Hit the Ball from a Divot by Tom Stickney

Lefties only golf tip: Hi I'm Tom Stickney Golf Magazine Top 100 Instructor and today I want to talk to you about how to hit the ball out of a divot. A lot of times people hit the ball into the divot they panic because they're not really sure how to play this shot. The 1st thing you have to do is look down at the divto and figure out where the ball is if the ball is situated towards the front of the divot where the grass kind of comes up you're going to find it's going to be very very difficult to get this ball to go anywhere because the ball will hit this turf and here it will tend to kill it. So the best thing you can hope for when the ball's in the front part of the divot is to just get it out somewhere kind of guide it down the fairway.
