Step 1: Learn The Fundamentals of Impact

Before you start learning how to swing the club, you first need to understand how the club should hit the golf ball. Here’s the basics:

1. Low point of swing needs to be IN FRONT of ball and smoothly brush the grass.

2. Need to swing the golf club in the direction of the target.

3. Clubface needs to point toward the target.

4. Impact point needs to be on the center of the clubface.

5. The club needs to move with speed (the faster the club travels, the farther the ball goes).

These elements create solid and straight golf shots with all the clubs in the bag.

Step 2: Learn How To Grip The Club

Learning how to properly put your hands on the golf club is vital to your success in the game. Here’s a process to help ensure you have a great grip:

1. Stand shoulder width apart and place club in the fingers of left hand (for right handed golfer)

2. Hinge club up and down to make sure clubface is pointing towards the target.

3. Place right hand on club ensuring it faces the target and the left thumb should fit perfectly into the palm.

Step 3: Learn How To Stand To The Ball

It’s almost impossible to hit a solid golf shot without having the proper posture before you swing the club. Posture controls the bottom of your golf swing! Here’s some basic steps to ensure proper posture and distance away from ball.

1. Stand tall, extend your arms and hold club in front of your waist

2. Lock knees and bend from the hips

3. Unlock knees, find balance, and make sure arms are hanging down

4. You should have balance in the feet and be 1 hands width away from club

Step 4: Align Your Body and Club To Target

Before you hit the golf ball, make sure to first align the face with the target, then your feet and finally your shoulders. Keep your body alignments parallel to the target.
