• Trying to pick the ball rather than hitting down on it.
• Changing spine angle during swing.

Lateral sway and lunging at the ball are 2 more causes.

Move forward so the ball is where the divot starts (determine location with a pratice swing). You should then hit down on the ball. Works for me

Perhaps it is a case of 'stack and tilt' gone bad?

Many people will drop their right shoulder causing club to bottom out before ball and hitting fat shots. Happens when you are trying to hit the ball hard...remedy is to swing more smoothly and with tempo. Let the club do the work.
