Golf Swing Phases |
The
Perfect Posture For Your Golf Swing (Part
4)
4.
The Quick Posture Set-up During Your Round Of Golf.
When
you are in the posture position I have described in the first 3 parts you
should feel 3 important feelings which will help you to be in the
correct posture no matter what length of club you use.
The
3 feelings are:
1.
The touch
of your upper arms to your ribs just below your armpits.
2.
The stretch
in your left forearm after your tilt your golf club downward. (Right
forearm for lefties.)
3.
The slight
tightening of the muscles just above your kneecaps to keep you from
falling to your knees.
These
3 feelings should be felt with your club sitting lightly on the
ground.
On
the golf course you do not need to do the steps listed in Parts 1 and
3. The following routine will work very well during your
round.
1.
Place your
club behind the ball.
2.
Position
your feet on the desired line at your usual distance from the ball for
the club you have chosen.
3.
You will be
very close to your end posture position.
4.
Make sure
you feel the touch of your arms to your ribs.
5.
Feel the
proper firmness of your thigh muscles to keep you from
falling.
6.
Adjust
your spine angle at your hips until you feel the stretch in your forearm. This step
usually means - move your back upwards at your hip joints. As
well, keep your back comfortably straight.
This
process can be done in a few seconds prior to your swing movements. You
don’t need to rush through this. You need to be certain of being in
your best possible posture.

My
golf students frequently comment that they have never heard some of the
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
& Rec. program.

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.
