No, that was long shots.

I think it's because they are using their hips more through impact. If the motion is more upper body oriented you probably need to keep your head more "down". But every time I see someone say to themselves that they forgot to keep their head down I see a number of errors and compensations before the head gets up and the shot is ruined.

I know that keeping the head down (especially on the longer shots) can be a problem, which Yoda also talks about. I wonder what his position is on the shorter shots? A stationary head - without swaying and bobbing - is essential. But a little head swivelling is ok. But why look at all on a putt under 3 yards IF that can cause you to miss more putts? If they always go in anyway, by all means: look,look,look. Personally I hit too many fat shots (chips/short pitches) if I lose sight of the ball, but that may just be me..
