Taking the swing to the practice tee

A great way to work on a change in your swing is to practice swing through a tee in the ground without a ball.  As Harvey Penick said to try to clip the top of the tee off.  When you go to the practice tee (driving range) place a tee under the ball and visualize clipping the top of the tee off while swinging through the ball.  Another effect this will have is giving you a greater margin of error while you are learning a new motion and you will gain confidence in your ability to make great golf shots. 


In fact, if you are a beginner, you can even use a tee out on the golf course.  This will make the round more fun.  I had my Mommy work on this and golf became a lot of fun for her.  She went a little overboard and hit her driver all the way down the fairway until she was close enough to hit a wedge, but nonetheless, she was having lots of fun.
