driving the golf ball

Question
When i tee off i hit the ground before the ball what im i doing wrong. and i top the ball on my drives

Answer
hello and thank you for your question.  it sounds like you have trouble having a proper contact with the ball.  if you want to achieve hitting the ball solid and straight, much practice is necessary and you have to know few of the basic concepts.  first, make sure that you don't dip your body up and down.  throughout your swing, you should maintain the same spinal angle.  rotate your back rather than dipping your back.  this will cause inconsistency in hitting the ball solidly.  also, try swinging a little slower, try to maintain a smooth tempo throughout the swing.  make sure you extend both of your arms after making contact.  keep your head still throughout the swing and make sure you have a proper set-up.  have a friend or an instructor to check your set-up.  set-up can be very important in order for you to hit the ball solid.  remember, rotate your back and swing through with a smooth tempo.  good luck and if you have further questions, just let me know.
