A good set up is imperative to be able to make a good solid body turn and effectively deliver a solid blow to
the golf ball.
A poor posture can easily throw a player off balance and make it impossible for the club to come back to the
exact place from where it started. Remember, the golf club is extremely small and the sweet spot is even
smaller and thus it’s very important for the player to be able to move in a rhythmic and very controlled manner
if he/she hopes to make a centered contact. A good solid foundation is thus extremely important.
A good posture must have an engaged core that makes the
spine absolutely straight but yet relaxed. The weight in the feet
should be in the balls of the feet and arms hanging below the
shoulders. The knees nicely fl exed and in an athletic mode.

C posture is also not very good for making a good strong golf
swing. It’s un-athletic, lazy and leads to very rounded shoulders.
It becomes impossible to make a good shoulder and body turn
