I think there's something wrong withmy swing

The old worm burner shot, killing worms all over the golf course.
Here are some things to do:
1. Do not watch the top of the ball. Pick a spot on the ball next the ground. Try to concentrate on that spot until the ball disappears. That will help keep your body in place.
2. Practice the drill above with small objects the size of a golf tee. Now whatever speed you can swing and hit the small object that should be your swing speed for the golf ball
3. You hear all this talk about the left arm needs to stay straight. For a right handed golfer. That is true, if you bend you left arm you have made the club shorter. The ball is 1 1/2 inches so a little bend will cause you to hit on top of the ball or miss it.
4. When you start taking the club back, you knees are bent a little. Do not straighten out your knees, some people call that moving head up. Same thing as above when you do that with your knees.
Now this is what you do. You work on one items at a time. Take some practice swings. You can't think about everything when your trying to hit the ball. So after the practice swings ht a ball. When you hit the ball just concentrate on that spot you picked out on the ball. Work on each step individually and it will all work out
Remember you do not want to create another bad habit trying to fix this one.

There are some great answers here! The only thing different I could add is try teeing the ball up a little higher (If your problem is on tee shots) Anywhere else on the course, make sure you hit down at the ball and trust the loft of the club to get the ball airborne. Hope this helps!

You could be hitting the ball with the bottom of the head. Try loosening up your grip a bit, relax, take 1 or 2 practice swings, get your feel for the swing, spread your feet more, and bend over slightly more.
It might also help buying a few buckets of balls at a driving range and just experiment with your swing.

If you put the ball forward in your stance (i.e. toward your left foot as a right-handed golfer), that can help get the ball up.
We have some video tips on our website that can help show you that. The tip is under Short Game and is titled "L for Loft, R for Roll". The link is below.
The bottom line...don't try to "scoop" the ball up. Hit down on the ball, and let the club do the work.

The next time you are playing golf play very close attention to whether or not your upper body moves up and down throughout your swing. A good way to do this is to try and keep your chin at the same height throughout your swing. If you can keep your upper body from "bobbing" up and down then you can address any further problems.

The Stones have maximum of great hit songs that it is confusing to single one out. If I had to easily decide for one it might in all probability be "i can not get no satisfaction", released in 1965. the reason? It has all the hallmarks of the suitable of the Stones - a memorable riff, great vocals and a pounding beat.

Hit down of the ball,divot should be in front of where the ball was sitting! Stop trying to lift the ball with the club.Exception:Driver

Stand about an inch closer to the ball. It sounds like you are hitting the ball on the to of it intead of in the middle.

Play the ball back in your stance a couple inches farther than normal. Or go take a couple lessons.
