- Set up – Without a proper set up, you will not strike the ball correctly. To achieve a proper set up, ensure that you stand with your feet apart at shoulder width. Keep your knees bent and keep the front shoulder higher than the back shoulder. The ball should be on an imaginary line that is perpendicular to the middle spot in between your feet.
- Grip – You are not holding a broadsword trying to hack down an enemy. Don’t be tense and try to have a light grip on the club. This will enable you to achieve a fluid swing and avoid errors like pushing or slicing.
- The Hit – Hitting the ball in the right place will give you maximum results. Your clubface needs to come into contact with the ball just below its equator. The motion should then continue downwards and forward. Ideally the leading edge should hit the turf just in front of where the ball used to be.
- The Lean – The shaft should not be vertical at the point of impact. In fact, it should be leaning forward slightly.
- Got a Divot? – If you followed the preceding steps properly, you should be staring at a short shallow divot. The divot should start just after where the ball was resting. If it begins before that point or is deep, then you are not striking the ball properly.
