THE GOLF SWING

Grip - Most important part of golf swing !!!!!

           For right handers -

                 - Last three fingers of the left hand

                 - Middle two fingers of right hand

                 - V's point to right shoulder

Stance - feet about as wide apart as shoulder's

               point toes out a bit - allows for freer body movement

Balance - weight should be equally distributed on both feet

Alignment - feet, knees, hips, and shoulder's should line

                     up parallel to "target line"

Two "imaginary lines" - 

        1-   target line - through the ball to the target

        2-   body line - feet, knees, hips, and shoulder's should line

                                 up  parallel to target line

                                 these lines never intersect !!!

                                 like railroad tracks !!!

Posture - stand tall, bend from the knees, bend from the

                waist, drop your hands (hands should now be beneath chin)                                         Relax !

Takeaway - Weight transfers to back foot

Downswing - Weight transfers to forward foot

Finish - 75% of weight  is now on forward foot with body

              now facing the target

NOTE * * *
    On the takeaway and the downswing when the

      club reaches the parallel position to the ground, the 

      club should be lined up in a straight line to the target. 

     This is important.

     When you finish the swing, the body, and

      the right and left thigh should face the target  with most 

      of the body weight on the left side. 

More on the Golf lesson:

For people who might struggle with a back problem or have 

trouble finishing the golf swing: 

My suggestion -

Begin your address position with feet, knees,
hips, and shoulders parallel to the target. Now
just  pull your left foot back about 6 to 9 inches,
so you are now lining up about 25 degrees off
the target line.

The feet knees, hips, and shoulders, will all be
lined up in this new direction. The purpose of this
new stance, is to allow you to finish the

golf swing. 

There will be less stress on your back with this

open stance back. You will now be able to clear your left 

side on the downswing. 

You must face your target with your 

knees and your chest.

You'll do Great
