Grip, Alignment, Stance and Posture

Many high handicappers set up to the ball in a way that generally guarantees a poor shot.

Most mistakes actually happen before you even swing the club.

Check the following basics to make sure you are giving yourself every opportunity to hit a good shot:

• grip – ease off on the pressure
• alignment – make sure you really are aiming where you think you are!
• stance – feet about shoulder width apart
• posture – get more upright, don’t slouch or hunch

Just think of the acronym GASP.

If you get these basics right your chances of success are dramatically increased.

A check up with a professional on these fundamentals will help greatly, and actually doesn’t cost that much.
