Tips for a Good Golf Stance
- Tilt you head to the right at address. Such a simple thing to do, but nothing has such a dramatic effect on the swing. With the head set to the right it’s mush easier to make a good turn and get the club onto the perfect inside path.
- Grip firmly with the last three fingers of the left hand. A firm grip, where no slipping takes place, firms up the left arm at the top of the backswing, which leads to constant perfect width during the swing.
- When you need to strike the ball well and the lie is poor, make sure you put the ball opposite your right foot and well back in the stance. Pros put the ball back much more than club golfers. Don’t be scared to exaggerate, put it right back, hit down into the ball and take a divot.
- Tee the ball up high when hitting into a wind. Modern drivers have the sweet spot high up on the face. If you tee the ball too low when hitting into the wind the ball will come off the bottom of the sweet spot with far too much backspin and will limit distance.
- A line across your arms should point towards the target. Grip a club, take up your stance, and lift up you arms to shoulder height. If you could balance a tray of drinks on your arms, without it falling off, you have a good grip. If the tray would fall off, adjust your grip so it wouldn’t. The way your arms hang at address sets up the direction of the takeaway. Get this right, the swing is relatively easy. Get it wrong and the swing is one massive adjustment.
Tips for the Perfect Golf Swing
- Take the club away from the ball in one piece. Put the butt end of a club in your tummy and grip down so you are standing normally. Then swing back a few feet. Feel how the club is attached to your body and everything has to turn together. A ‘one-piece takeaway’ is crucial in building a good swing.
- Count ‘one- and - two’ during the swing. Most golfers start down too quickly from the top and swing to the rhythm ‘one- two’. Change the count to ‘one – and – two’ to give yourself time at the top. Jack Nicklaus always maintained he played his best golf when he started the downswing slowly and smoothly.
- The feel of a hand action on a draw shot is the same as when spreading butter on a piece of bread. In the old days a long draw was called a ‘spread’ shot because of the popular example.
- Release past the body – hit against a firm left side. To make sure you release past the body correctly the left foot should not be turned out (towards the target) too much. Try to keep it at right angles to the hole to force the hands to whip the clubhead through impact.
- To make sure a golfer doesn’t get stuck on the back foot, drag the right foot across to the left foot during the downswing. Practice getting the right foot to touch the left at impact. This stops the shoulders from becoming too active and spinning open.
