Proper Way to Swing a Golf Club

The proper way to swing a golf club is much-debated and rarely mastered without a lifetime of practise and improvement.

Your proper way to swing a golf club begins with a proper stance. This is the foundation of your game, so if you don't get the foundation right, then your chances of everything else being right are not good at all.

Stand relaxed and erect with your feet shoulder-width apart.

This places your center of gravity squarely between both feet for maximum stability and power.

Focus on the ball with your eyes alone, making sure your head faces out ahead and not down.

Keep your arms loose and relaxed, your legs should have the slightest bend in them so the knees aren't locked rigid. Your spine should be straight but your buttocks pushing back slightly.

The proper way to swing a golf club is to stand in front of a mirror and practise, making sure you are relaxed. Being loose is everything.

Just watch a tape of Tiger Woods or Greg Norman and keep that image in your mind's eye as you work on imitating them. They both know the proper way to swing a golf club.
