Divot far in front of ball position?

[Dr Draw]

I was playing a round today, and I kept on topping my tee shots with my 3 wood. It was the most irritating thing and prevented me from playing to my full potential. I noticed that whenever would take my practice swing and experiment that my divot was ending up far in front of the ball. This obviously can explain the topped 3 wood because the low point of my swing was way ahead of the ball causing the bottom or my club to catch the ball resulting in a top. However, the problem is, I have no damn idea on how to fix this. I've been trying to correct it but it usually ends up causing me to hit the ball fat or some other funky shot. Please help.

Id like to see video obviously, but chances are your extending too early with your weight back. So. In downswing, move all your weight forwards and open fast. Key piece here is to actually try n feel like you INCREASE your forward bend like Tiger. Hit a couple of balls actually LOWERING your upper center as you shift forward and open Let me know how it goes. Lots of other variables and you might not hit the shot SHAPE you want but contact should improve.
