Golf Swing Instruction: Proper Posture is the Secret to a Succesful Golf Swing

Learn to break 80 with this often overlooked golf swing fundamental. Once you learn to start every swing from the proper posture your scores will fall like nobody's business!


My friend, Dooley Duffer, struggled with proper golf swing posture. He didn't even know he had the problem for the longest time. He worked on his takeaway and downswing. He changed his ball position. Next he bought a couple of new drivers and later still changed his grip. Still he had the dreaded golf slice with the occasional pull hook! Poor Dooley just kept trying different solutions without success.

Dooley is a devoted golfer. He loves the game. He enjoys the way golf challenges him to improve, the competition amongst his playing partners and the entire experience of being on the course. Like many of us he is hooked on the game by the occasional spurts of good play which keep him coming back and seeking help to lower his handicap.

Golf can be a challenging game to conquer. While it appears to the casual observer to be a seemingly simple thing, a good golf swing soon becomes an elusive experience for the average golfer. More times than not the ball fails to find the intended line or flight. Why is that?

For those seeking golf swing improvement the source of their problems may be any combination of things such as swing mechanics, ball position or grip pressure. Many times we seek to improve those areas when we really need to start as they say "at the beginning".

Proper golf swing posture is one of the most overlooked fundamentals of the golf swing. Your posture has a significant influence on the direction and path your golf club will travel during the golf swing.

Posture is the key element to the golf set-up. Spine angle, stance width, arm hang and chin position all are variables determined prior to ever making a swing. An improper posture will cause everything else you try to do with your swing to go awry. Even a perfect swing executed from an improper golf swing posture will yield undesirable results.


So how did ole Dooley Duffer overcome his swing faults? I can't say that he has completely. But he did find some help that made a real noticeable difference in his game. At first I didn't put a whole lot of stock in the improvement I was seeing. I thought the golf gods were being temporarily generous, something I know all too well. However his golf swing improvement continued far too long to be a passing fancy.

So I had to ask. He shared with me that he had discovered an eBook that helped him work on his swing fundamentals. He told me what the book taught was not some quick fix or a single swing key. He said the eBook has helped him with every part of his swing, especially proper posture. The author takes the holistic approach to teaching the golf swing. Dooley was telling me that he may never be a scratch golfer but that he felt like his game would continue to improve over time as he applied what the book had to offer.

Well between what my eyes had seen and the confidence in Dooley's voice I was convinced to check this eBook out for myself and I was not disappointed.
