Become a Birdie Machine (Part 2)-Nick Watney


Here's Nick Watney, the 2007 Zurich Classic winner and current leader of the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. This photo was taken on TPC Summerlin's 12th hole, a 442-yard Par 4 that the pros reach with a driver and wedge. (That's so wrong!)

Notice how Watney's hit down on the ball (see spray of dirt for evidence) and kept his head down through the shot while his hips rotate?

You often hear amateurs telling their buddies to "keep your head down" on driving ranges all across the country. Sure, you want to keep it down for most of the swing, but definitely not the entire swing. See photo below for further proof.
