So a couple of other key elements when you are topping the golf ball out on the golf course, and you are trying to resist that. You might have worked on your technique on the range and you are doing fine on the range, with less and less top shots on the driving range but still encountering top shots on the golf course. What could the problem be the 1st thing might just be as simple as developing a pretty shot routine appreciate routine is something that happens obviously before you hit the ball but it should be consistent you should be the same every single time it shouldn't fluctuates or change and ideally you should be doing this in your practice sessions as well. So on the driving range you're having a pretty shot routine that doesn't need to take too long but it should just be a couple of seconds of maybe standing behind the ball correcting your target line picking out a target lining up to the side a little practice swing particularly from topping the ball.

I'm focusing on staying down keeping my eyes level staying down and then when I go ahead and I hit the shot I create the same impact conditions and that pretty shot routine should stay with me on the range on the 1st tee all the way to the18th green I preach shot routine shouldn't change. The other considerations should be just swinging within yourself see not trying to back to the golf ball we generally find that golfers will lose that technique when they stand there and try and hit the goal ball too hard. So swinging within yourself all the time on that concept that you're not looking up to see the ball too early. So you stay down make a good impact position and trust yourself that the ball will float up and over the house that are over the water rather than panicking to see whether it's going over the water and then finding that it hasn't. So make sure you consider all those elements as a last to the finishing off bits of technique to improve those top golf shots.
