The golf posture provides consistancy for the player, improving his/her basic golf swing.

Let’s start with the fourth element:
"The most neglected aspect of the golf swing, the golf posture can help you to be consistant in your shot making and help you to have a better golf swing." This lesson is very important and should be taken seriously. The posture influences the path of your swing; a good posture promotes a better golf swing.

Consistancy Starts With a Good Posture:
Good posture is necessary for a golfer to develop to his full potential. This is the fondation upon which to build a repeating swing.

1. Stand erect:

Stand erect with the hands relaxed on the club in front of you.

2. Extention of Arms:

Extend the club in front of you keeping both arms fully extended but relaxed.

3. Flex From the Hips:

Flex from the hips keeping your lower back straight. Drop the club to the ground keeping your arms fully extended and relativaly close to your body. Your arms should be in a vertical position.

4. Flex the knees:

Slighty flex your knees to make sure they are unlocked while maintening the straight line in your lower back.

Animation of Set-Up:

Like a machine, the golfer must repeat his/her swing time and time again to obtain the best results. Adopt a position of the body where the head, spine, hips, legs and arms are always positioned the same before the swing is started.

Educational drill:

Learn this educational drill so you can experience what having a good posture feels like.

Building a house:

(A good posture in golf  is like a good foundation for your house.) 

Like building a house, the foundation must be the most important part for it to last hundreds of years. 
Playing golf and able to perform from the first hole to the last, the golfer must have the ability to repeat the same motion time and time again. To do this, the foundation or golf posture must be learned and mastered. So again, please take this lesson seriously because the golf posture is essential for you to improve a better golf swing!!!
