How to Get the Golf Ball Up in the Air – Learning Plan

Here are the three most popular Women's Golf lessons that answer the very common question: 'Why can't I get the ball off the ground?'

Lesson 1: Why Can’t I Get the Ball Off the Ground?

Anne and Dennise explain the three big culprits—flicking, hanging back, and not rotating. Their advice is practical and reassuring, especially if you’ve been struggling to get the ball airborne despite solid effort.

So, there you go. Just a reminder – I’m the site editor, not a teaching pro. For personalized help, always seek direct advice from one of our qualified LPGA or PGA instructors. But I’m certain that trying even one of these lessons this week could help you get the ball airborne with ease.
Good luck and here’s to confident, soaring shots!
