The next seven weeks of lessons concentrate on forming a swing from solid fundamentals.

The Basic Fundamentals of the Golf Swing

Making a symmetrical swing back and through.
_{(dia 1) (dia 2) (dia 3) (dia 4)}
Concentrating on the area around impact swinging the club to hip high back and through should look the same much like a mirror image. From the setup (Dia 1) you should turn the body while hinging the right elbow to hip high as in (Dia 2). The movement down to impact is a reversal of the back swing, unhinging the right elbow and getting shoulders square to target. (Dia 3) For the follow through turn the body and hinge the left elbow as in (Dia 4). This is a great exercise for stopping you getting an out to in path of swing usually resulting in a fade or slice.

This lesson will be followed up next week with a lesson to show how to extend these movements back and through.
