Posture can be the key to a good swing

When I teach most people always think the problem are in their swings. However poor swings can be when your club can't get in a certain position due to poor posture.

Take a look at Ethan's posture: Ethan was struggling with his game. His backswing was becoming flat and the club was getting stuck behind his body. He was also struggling to create a shoulder turn.

The changes we made to Ethan: We got him to use his height better, Ethan's over 6 foot so using his height is vital. We also got him to create a better spinal angle to help him turn and create a better swing plane. Also we got his hands away from his legs at address, this will create more room and help free the club up.

Check your posture.. If you don't have a bad back then everyone should stand to the ball correct. 80% off a good golf swing is down to posture.

A great days coaching

Last week I ran a full day coaching for the ladies of the golf club and we had a great day. In the morning we went down the main practice ground and worked on short game and distance control on the long game. After lunch we then went out and played 7 holes followed by a chat on what we did during the day. The ladies left happy with a coaching pack. Many thanks for all the ladies support.
