All about your body posture

Make the first small move as if you're about to sit on a tall chair.

Your feet should be shoulder width apart to make it easy to shift your weight.

To make sure you have the right posture follow this routine:

  • Grip the club then raise it until it is parallel to the ground and you are standing upright

  • Lower the club head to the ground by bending forward from the hips. Stop when the club head touches the grass

  • Flex the knees just enough to create tension in the thighs.

    Do not bend your knees too far - you should be able to flex them without reducing your height.

    You are now ready to make your first swing.
