OK I know you have all heard this one before “KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN” you can hear it everyday on the golf course been uttered as the golf tip of the century. Please people stop with the intended good advice because you are killing your friends or partners likelihood of producing a good golf swing. Head down is not good, head still is much better.

The more you attempt to keep your head down for the duration of the golf swing, the less chance you have of making the correct turn on the backswing. Your turn will either be limited by the head position or you will counteract by tilting your shoulders, either way keeping your head down is going to cause serious problems and they just get worse as I hear you shouting to yourself “got to keep my head down, must keep my head down, please don’t let my head come up again” damn another bad shot!!!! And on and on …

As with most golf related problems they can by and large be rectified quite simply. So if your big problem is trying to keep that head of yours down then pay attention because help is at hand.

The foremost thing you have to do is lift your chin up as high as feasible while still being able to see the golf ball comfortably, this will produce a better posture keeping the back of your head in a straight line with your spine. Doing this will create room for your shoulders to turn properly on the backswing without knocking your head to one side or causing you to tilt, therefore allowing your head to remain STILL.

And that is the secret that will help you make a much better swing, allowing you to retain your height during the golf swing leading to more consistent golf shots. It will take you a while to get comfortable with your new head position but it will be worth it, so practice this and reap the rewards.

Bear in mind … don’t hold your head down, Lift your head and this will allow you to keep your HEAD STILL. Which was after all your purpose when concentrating so hard to keep it down.
