The setup and fundamentals

The golf set up is more than half the battle to hitting a good shot. Nearly all faults in a golf swing come from a bad setup. Here are my pointers on perfecting setup.

  1. Stance should be about shoulder width for every club. Slightly narrower for smaller irons.
  2. To make sure that you are not standing too far away your hands should be inline with your chin.
  3. For your golf grip, your fore finger and thumb should make a V which points in between your shoulder and head. This is so your grip is not too strong or weak.
  4. You should maintain a good spine angle. Feel as though you are sitting on a stool.
  5. To make sure your hands are ahead of the ball at setup put them ahead of the buttons on your shirt.
