To Learn Golf Swing Fast - You Must be Watching the Golf Ball

The best advice that I have been given about watching the golf ball before impact is to not just stay your mind on the ball but to actually see and stay your mind on the back center edge of the ball. You could even try to stay your mind all the way up to contact on a specific dimple on the back middle edge of the ball.

The task of watching the golf ball does not end at contact, though. The actual flight of the ball will tell you whether your swing path was straight into the back of the ball and also if your club face was open or closed. A ball that CURVES one way or another is due to a clubface that is either open or closed to the swing path of your clubhead.

A ball that DOESN'T CURVE but still goes left or right is due to a swing path of the clubhead that is not on line with the intended target. These shots are called either "pushing the ball" (if it goes to the right of the target for a right-handed golfer) or "pulling the ball" (if it goes to the left of the target for a right-handed golfer).

So, by seeing the flight of the ball, you will be able to know what needs to be corrected in your swing so that the same result doesn't occur again. Correcting your swing should normally only be done at the practice range or during a practice round. Only the very best golfers will be able to see the flight of the ball and then correct the flight next time by making changes.

But during a round of golf, what you can easily correct is where you AIM the ball to go on your next shots so that the same inaccuracies are not repeated.
