Golf Swing Phases |
The
Perfect Posture For Your Golf Swing (Part
1)
You
have arrived at your ball on the tee or on the grass. Now:
In
this article you will learn some information that will improve your
golf swing dramatically. Some of my golf students get amazing
improvements to their golf swing simply by being in the correct posture
before they carry out their swing motions.
When
you are in your best possible posture you can almost feel a good swing
before you actually do your swing.
This
article is in four parts. It will:
1. Describe a
routine that you can do in front of a mirror to train yourself how to
be in most of the correct posture angles without using a golf club. Pt.
1
2. Show you
how to have perfect body alignments. Pt. 2
3. Show you
how to achieve all of the correct posture angles with a golf club. Pt.
3
4. Describe a
quick way to ensure you are in the correct body angles during your
round of golf or while practicing. Pt. 4
1.
The Basic Training Routine
Here
are the steps to get into a good posture. Do them in front of mirror so
you can get feedback of the movements you make and the positions you
achieve. Below the photos you can read some comments
about how some of the steps prepare you for parts of your actual golf
swing.

Several
of my golf
students bring their hips forward with their knees. You must avoid this
as it brings your hips under your shoulders causing your balance to
move backwards onto your heels. Think of some of these thoughts when
bending your knees:
Correctly
doing this move will usually place your shoulders slightly forward of
the front of your shoes. It will also place your hip joints over or
slightly behind your heels.

the 4 main steps above facing the mirror and standing sideways to the
mirror. In fact, do so in both sideways positions.

My

golf tips I give them in their lessons. They frequently give me a bonus
or come for additional lessons beyond the package deal of the Parks

Many
of my golf students come to me for a low-cost intro to golf. Another
reason they come to me is that they are intimidated by the very good
abilities of the "golf pro". As well, they often are confused by the
golf "lingo" and "cliches" which have evolved into golf conversation
and instruction. I stay away from those terms.
They
have also heard that I am a very patient teacher. I can also
communicate what I know in a way that my students easily can
understand. I go the "extra mile" with my lessons. Often, I go 15 to 30
minutes beyond the agreed 1 hour lesson time.
Here
is a partial list of my series of articles:
Basic
body movements are fundamental to a good golf swing.
Basic
body movement is essential in any sport. Basic body movement also means
limiting movement to the essential movement for what you want to do. We
control the desired movement. We prevent unwanted movement. Find out more.
You
develop some good golf swing skills and you hit many good drives at the
driving range. You arrive at the golf course but your good swing and
good hits stayed at home. The golf course scenery can cause this in an
unusual way. One logical but wrong thought... Find
out more.
This
article is an overview of the various steps you could follow to hit
your next golf ball. By following this method you will progress towards
thinking of very few things to do. Find
out more.
4. One Piece Takeaway (includes
pictures and video clips)

on to learn some needed understanding of how this can be
achieved.
