    Keep Your Head Down | Ron Shea’s Golf Tip of the Week

    Looking for golf lessons in Cuyahoga Falls? This week’s tip from Ron Shea focuses on one of the most common mistakes golfers make—lifting their head too early.

    If you’ve ever topped the ball, hit it thin, or wondered why your shots aren’t as consistent as they should be, your head position may be the reason.

    The Problem

    Everyone wants to see where the ball is going.

    The problem is that many golfers look up before they’ve finished the swing.

    When your head comes up too early, your body follows. That changes your posture, affects the swing path, and often leads to poor contact.

    The result?

    • Topped shots
    • Thin shots
    • Lost distance
    • Inconsistent ball striking

    Ron Shea’s Tip

    👉 Keep your head down and let the club find the ball.

    You don’t have to force the shot.

    Trust your swing, stay down through impact, and let the club do its job.

    One simple adjustment can make a big difference in the quality of your ball striking.

    Practice This Drill

    The next time you’re on the driving range:

    • Pick a target before every shot.
    • Keep your eyes on the back of the ball.
    • Listen for the sound of the club striking the ball before looking up.
    • Finish your swing, then watch the ball fly.

    This drill teaches patience and helps you stay committed through impact.

    Why It Works

    Keeping your head down helps your body stay in position during the swing.

    When your posture stays steady, the club has a much better chance of returning to the ball squarely.

    You don’t need to swing harder.

    You simply need to make solid contact.

    As Ron likes to remind his students, good golf starts with good fundamentals.

    Ron Shea’s Final Thought

    A lot of golfers think they need a new swing.

    Sometimes, they just need to keep their head down a little longer.

    Stay focused on the ball, trust your swing, and let the club do the work.

    Keep Your Eye on the Ball | Ron Shea’s Golf Tip of the Week

    Looking for golf lessons in Cuyahoga Falls? This week, Ron Shea shares one of the simplest and most important golf tips for better contact and more consistent shots.

    The Problem

    One of the most common mistakes golfers make is lifting their head too early during the swing.

    Most players want to see where the ball is going before they actually finish the shot. When that happens, the body comes up too soon and the club loses solid contact with the ball.

    That leads to:

    • topped shots
    • thin shots
    • weak contact
    • inconsistent ball striking

    Ron Shea’s Tip

    👉 Keep your eye on the ball all the way through your follow through.

    Staying down through impact helps you stay balanced and strike the ball more cleanly.

    You don’t need to swing harder.

    You need better focus and better contact.

    Simple Practice Drill

    The next time you practice:

    • Keep your head down through impact
    • Listen for the ball to leave the clubface
    • Hold your finish for 2–3 seconds
    • Stay balanced after the shot

    This simple adjustment can make a huge difference in consistency.

    Why This Works

    When golfers lift their head too early:

    • the shoulders rise
    • the swing path changes
    • the clubface moves off the ball

    Keeping your eye on the ball longer helps everything stay connected through impact.

    The result:

    • cleaner contact
    • straighter shots
    • more confidence
