How to hit a ball from a divot
According to Dunton, working on shots from unconventional lies – as a divot – can actually be useful.
“I think it makes people focus on influence and contact on the ball and a lot of the other type of minute leaves,” she said.
The focus here should be catching the ball first, Dunton said. To make it, make sure your sternum and your nose are immediately positioned on the ball. The ball should be slightly back in the posture, and hands slightly forward to prevent your weight from moving to your back.
Dunton recommended to take half a shaky and try to feel as if he was hitting the ball with a falling blow and coming out a little from the left.

“We’re not trying to swing and help the ball out,” Dunton said. “Let the club attic make it, and then just keep a shortened chase, very similar to the technique you will use if you are hitting a slightly low blow.”
Dunton recommended to use a short medium iron for this stroke, like a 7 or 8. Despite the attic, you can expect the ball light to be low, given the first ball contact.
“You really just try to get it down the road and the trouble with this blow,” Dunton said. “Is a good blow to having.”
So if you are looking to get rid of a lie on a divot or just want to make a blow to get you out of trouble, give Dunton’s tips try adding another gun to your shot arsenal.
