The Perfect Posture For Your Golf Swing (Part 4)
4. The Quick Posture Set-up During Your Round Of Golf.
When you are in the posture position I have described in the first 3 parts you should feel 3 important feelings which will help you to be in the correct posture no matter what length of club you use.
The 3 feelings are:
1. The touch of your upper arms to your ribs just below your armpits.
2. The stretch in your left forearm after your tilt your golf club downward. (Right forearm for lefties.)
3. The slight tightening of the muscles just above your kneecaps to keep you from falling to your knees.
These 3 feelings should be felt with your club sitting lightly on the ground.
On the golf course you do not need to do the steps listed in Parts 1 and 3. The following routine will work very well during your round.
1. Place your club behind the ball.
2. Position your feet on the desired line at your usual distance from the ball for the club you have chosen.
3. You will be very close to your end posture position.
4. Make sure you feel the touch of your arms to your ribs.
5. Feel the proper firmness of your thigh muscles to keep you from falling.
6. Adjust your spine angle at your hips until you feel the stretch in your forearm. This step usually means - move your back upwards at your hip joints. As well, keep your back comfortably straight.
This process can be done in a few seconds prior to your swing movements. You don’t need to rush through this. You need to be certain of being in your best possible posture.

Many of my golf students come to me for a low-cost intro to golf. Another reason they come to me is that they are intimidated by the very good abilities of the "golf pro". As well, they often are confused by the golf "lingo" and "cliches" which have evolved into golf conversation and instruction. I stay away from those terms.
They have also heard that I am a very patient teacher. I can also communicate what I know in a way that my students easily can understand. I go the "extra mile" with my lessons. Often, I go 15 to 30 minutes beyond the agreed 1 hour lesson time.
Here is a partial list of my series of articles:
