When you are driving a golf ball, a good follow-through helps to increase the distance of the drive. A good follow-through means that the club head is kept in contact with the ball as long as possible. Why does this technique allow you to hit the ball farther?

Longer contact time leads to a higher impulse, and more momentum transfer to the ball. (Higher velocity)
