Golf Tips

Mastering Your Swing

The Setup

A solid setup is the foundation of a good golf swing. Focus on these key elements:

 

  • Posture: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and lean forward from your hips. Keep your back straight, but not rigid.
  • Grip: Hold the club firmly but not too tightly. There are three common grips: the interlocking grip, the overlapping grip (Vardon grip), and the ten-finger grip. Experiment to find what feels most comfortable and gives you control.
  • Alignment: Ensure your feet, hips, and shoulders are aligned parallel to your target line. A good way to check this is to place two clubs on the ground, one along your target line and one along your feet line.

The Backswing

The backswing sets the stage for power and accuracy.

 

  • Takeaway: Begin the backswing by taking the club away from the ball in a smooth, controlled motion. Your shoulders, arms, and club should move together.
  • Top of the Backswing: At the top, your lead arm should be relatively straight, and your wrists should be cocked. Your weight should shift towards your back foot. Avoid over-swinging; control is more important than extreme length.
