Most golfers will admit to experiencing a lull in their performance on the course at some point or another, and many of us will empathise with the feeling of sheer horror that you might never re-find your form.
This can happen to golfers at any level, whether a high-handicap amateur golfer or a former Major Champion. However, with the right expert tips and the necessary practise, it’s possible to once again surge back to your best.

I think a lot of people try to get it in the air instead of letting the club do the work. It really comes down to the simple stuff, the loft is there to get the ball in the air comfortably, and to do that you actually have to hit down on it.
