In this section, Bobby Eldridge demonstrates how to hit the ball low on purpose if you find yourself in an obstacle like a tree. Before hitting the golf ball,  it is important is to determine where you want the golf ball to land and visualize its trajectory as it travels. To hit the ball low, pick a low-lofted golf club that has a flatter face, position the ball back in your stance across from your right foot and put a little weight on your left leg and have the handle over on your left leg. This will ensure that the golf ball does not go up in the air. A low follow through is also important in hitting the golf ball low in purpose.
