After forty years of playing golf as a mid handicap player I find it very difficult to take a divot or to make solid contact. When I do so having generally greater yet albeit inconsistent success picking the ball. I am left to wonder if my technique is seriously flawed or just different. I say this because notably two of the greatest players in the world – Annika Sörenstam and Greg Norman, were known for their tendency to pick the ball off the fairway with perhaps all but the loftiest clubs.
