I had the same problem. You might be swaying your hips forward. If so do this drill. Put a straw in your mouth and point it at the ball and swing. While swinging keep the straw pointed at the ball. This drill really helped me a lot.

Have you tried putting the ball more forward in your stance?

Well yeah basically, especially for the driver because the ball is so far forward in your stance. I would say it is usually a good thought though. I am thinking you are coming in too steep with your driver. Experiment with shallowing your swing plane just a bit. What may be suitable for your irons may not be with your driver. Standing just a bit further from the ball will shallow it out a bit. I loop the club back to a more shallow position as I move to the top to help out so I can be assured of coming from the inside. But you may not want to introduce something like that into your swing. Maybe some others may have suggestions about shallowing out a bit. That has been my major improvement lately. I am launching the ball much higher.

I was hitting my drives really low too over the weekend. And here all i went and did was tee it up a little bit higher and it was good height and distance.

My son is 14 years old also. keep at it you will work it out if you haven't already done so.

My son loves golf second only to basketball but I think golf is closing in on basketball.

When you get a chance watch these golf fundamental video below:

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 21, May 25.  Hit "the whole bucket" as practice today after reviewing my Skillest lesson.  I think something crept into my swing last week that wasn't in the lesson, so I went back to the lesson and renewed my focus.  Each ball was a minute or so, 2-3 slow rehearsal backswings and checking the mirror for how far back I was going. "The whole bucket" means every ball I have in the bin at my indoor practice room;  I counted when I put them back, that's six dozen plus six total.  That is probably more full swings than I took over the weekend (excluding range warm-ups) in two rounds!  But these were all with a 6-iron.

      Day 265 5-25 Hit some balls just to see where i was, no "thoughts' except getting arms in front. Did some recording where i focused on getting chest through and arms in front.

      Day 76 (25 May 26) - Broke out the "vintage" clubs (MacGregor blades, Wilson 4150 laminates) to work with clubs that are much less forgiving.  Worked through the bag using hard foam balls for the full swings, regular balls for the chips and pitches.  Found it to be a more focused session on making consistent contact.

      Approach Play to Elevated / Lowered Greens?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
