The Address
Feet are shoulder width apart and weight is on
the balls of the feet, dynamic position.
Sole of the club is placed on the ground behind
the ball, squarely facing the target.
5
Address
Your grip should not be too tight that there's no
more room for wrist movement, or too loose that
the club slips off your fingers.
Two hands become one In class we used the
intertwining grip
Square stance Weight on the balls of the
feet Knees remain flexed (dynamic position)
Arms are straight Head is down
Keep your eyes on the ball.

The Golf Swing
7
The start of the swing
As club continues to rise, the wrists will bend.
Right elbow stays close to the body. Knees
remain flexed (dynamic position) and eyes stay on
the ball.
Arms stay straight as long as possible. Weight
begins to shift to back foot. Head stays down,
eyes on the ball.
8
Top of the backswing
Head is still down, eyes are still on the ball.
Dynamic position is still maintained. Head is
looking over the left shoulder. Weight is now
on the back foot.
Notice the club is pointed in the direction the
hit should be going. And the club face is
looking at the ball.
9
Downswing
Hips initiate the downswing
Eyes remain on the ball
Forward arm straightens
Do not force the club downward Let the club do
the work!
Weight returns to the balanced, dynamic position
of the address
10
Through The Ball
Forward arm leads the back hand Back hip turns to
the target line of the shot Back hand is
explosive power Forward arm is straight at
contact Weight moves to forward foot
11
The Finish
The V position of your arms should be retained as
you follow through
Hips are turned to face the target line
Weight is transferred to the forward foot The
back heel may rise due to the momentum
Hands and arms will be over your shoulders
