Golf Tips

A proper setup is vital to the rest of the swing and the game. Ask the professionals what they are working on, and they will all tell you - it's the fundamentals.

What are the first things a good teacher works on with student fundamentals?

• Posture
• Grip
• Alignment

What are the keys to nurturing fundamentals?

• A pre-shot routine
• Proper grip of the club
• Where you aim the face of the club

These fundamentals will determine where you will hit the ball. A good setup may not result in a great swing; however, bad fundamentals will guarantee that you will never improve your overall game.

• POSTURE:
  Relax, arms hanging from the shoulders, knees flexed with feet placed at shoulder width.
  
  
• GRIP:
  Light on the fingers.
  
  
• ALIGNMENT:
  Shoulders, feet and hips slightly left of target with club face square to target.
