Do not fall into one of the many errors of exaggeration by striving to keep the head down long after the flowing movement of the arms and the body requires that it should go naturally with the final stages of the movement.

  Here, indeed, is just another example of how faults in the follow-through can wreck the shot.  Try hitting the ball while consciously striving to keep the head down beyond the point where the physical urgings of the other parts of the body demand that it should rise.  You will soon see what I mean.

  I have described the movement in sequence in the follow-through to the finish.  Now to explain one or two vital features of this phase of the swing and clear up certain misconceptions.

  First, the left hand-action.  The behavior of the left hand at and after impact with the ball can make or break the whole operation.  Like upper-left-arm-leverage in the back-swing and the lateral shift in the downswing, so the retention of power and control from the left hand to the elbow immediately after impact and into the follow-through forms one of the cornerstones on which a sound, reliable, result-producing swing is built.

Here's how to end your frustration, maximize your golf potential, and be the top dog in your foursome.

Your golf swing will have effortless power.  Producing amazingly long and straight drives that blow by your golfing buddies by 30 yards on every hole.
