PLAYING THE BALL OUT OF A DIVOT

If you ever find yourself in the unlucky situation where your ball is stuck i a divot, there are two things you must focus on.

1. Place the ball a little more back in your stance.
2. Make sure your sternum (breastbone) is slightly ahead.

Other than that, play the shot normally and you should be able to hit the ball clean out of the divot.
