Beginner Series Tips :                                                 Golf Swing Setup

Think of your golf stance and golf club grip as the foundation or
launching pad for your swing.


I bet you've already tensed up just by reading that. You're already thinking of that twisted pretzel feeling.
Relax! A good golf swing setup is just not that tough! The good news is that you probably have a good athletic swing setup and all you need is to brush it up and be more relaxed.

Golf Grip Tips and Thoughts

Please, don't get me wrong. I realize the importance of setting the golf swing stage with the appropriate grip of the golf club. However, as with the stance, I don't think this is where the typical beginner's golf swing falls apart.

Golf Equipment

Regardless of which method you chose to grip the golf club, be sure your golf club grips give you something to grip. You can replace the golf club grips or, if your golf clubs have seen better days, you may want to bypass the repairs and invest that repair money in another set of golf clubs. I would suggest that you look for a bargain on a less expensive set of clubs. You can always get your investment back on that less expensive set and move up to a better set of golf clubs as your golf game improves.

My golf club philosophy is simple. I believe this holds true for most golfers. The less you spend on a set of clubs, the more likely you are to be happy with them.

Be Relaxed

Whatever grip you choose, just remember to be relaxed. A tight grip on the golf club will kill your golf swing. You've probably heard this before, but grip your golf club as if you're holding a baby bird. Squeeze too tight and you kill it.

You can choose from three different golf grips. It's your choice and you should choose the golf grip that feels right for you.

An athletic golf stance and golf swing setup is the launching pad for your swing. If you start with a bad stance, you'll probably follow with a bad back swing, a bad downswing, and a bad follow through. Not to worry though, it's just not that difficult!

Solid basic golf swing steps or golf swing mechanics lead to an easy golf back swing, downswing, and follow through.

The Golf Back Swing - Don't think about your arms. Instead of thinking about my arms and swinging my golf club, I try to think of my back swing as turning my back to the target. I'm just putting the golf club behind my back.

My best advice for your golf Down Swing, with one exception, is to just let it happen! The down swing and follow through should be the very natural result of everything that precedes it.

Golf Swing Summary - I DO still remember the faulty golf swing mechanics and neurotic golf swing thoughts that result in that less than memorable worm burner shot or that weak 70 yard shot off to the right. Here's my list of golf swing killers.

What little I know about the golf swing is already on these pages, but I'll be glad to provide whatever support I can. I'm no expert, and everything I've done here is probably incorrect according to every golf aficianado on the planet. But then again, if it works, do you really care?
