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:

Low point of swing needs to be IN FRONT of ball and smoothly brush the grass.
Need to swing the golf club in the direction of the target.
Clubface needs to point toward the target.
Impact point needs to be on the center of the clubface.
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.
