I have recently been taking too much grass and taking a bigger than normal divot when playing lately.

The ball is going straight but i am losing precious distance in my irons all the way through to my driver.

I am even taking divots with my driver.


What causes this?

I'll try to get some swing videos up.

I have a tournament this week.
Helppp!!

I was doing this for a while and it was because my spine angle was coming down on my backswing and back up (kinda) during the swing. Also I was too much on the balls of my feet, now I stay back more on the heels.

A big divot is nothing to be concerned about as long as you are compressing the ball and not hitting it fat. I would be concerned about taking divots with your driver though. The driver is designed to be hit on the way up and not be compressed. To solve that problemi would play the ball further up in your stance so that the ball is hit on the beginning of the upswing.
