Keep Your Head Down?

Two of the most understood sayings in golf are “keep your head down and "don’t look up”.  Everyone has said or heard these sayings at least once in their life time.  What is meant by the sayings are, keep you spine angle bent over and the same throughout the swing.  If the head is kept down and not allowed to turn through the swing, the arms will collapse causing the golfer to top the ball.  The chest and arms should always extend through the shot.  If the head rotates with the chest through the shot then extension and weight transfer will accrue.  When the head rotates with the spine, the head should be at an angle through the shot.  As a right hander, the right eye will be lower than the left on the follow through (the opposite for you left handers).  This rotation of the head will keep the spine down and create more energy through the swing.  So don’t keep you head down, let it rotate.
