By Jerry J. Jansen On May 16, 2009 No Comments

It might seem strange that you need to be mindful of your golf swing sequence since it’s obvious that some steps are followed after others.  Of course you need to be mindful of your stance before you swing and of course your grip comes first.  If you didn’t grip your club before your swing it would go flying out of your hands, right?  So why do we say that you need to be mindful of the proper golf swing sequence when it seems so obvious?

The reason is that many people actually make the mistake of not being mindful of the various elements of the golf swing sequence, and miss paying attention to some important details.

Golfers use various training aids to improve their golf swing. Most of these can be purchased from the sporting good store but did you know that there is something you can use at home? Yes there is and this is the cardboard box where your golf clubs came in.

But before you learn how to use that in a driving range, don’t forget to stretch and warm up by hitting 15 balls with your 5 or 7 iron or wood.

Once your body is warmed up, set it up. To do that, put the cardboard box lengthwise towards the target because the objective of this aid is to let you hit the ball without hitting the box. This should be 5 to 6 inches away from the ball.  If you don’t know how to do it, ask someone from the range to help.

1. Ask any pro golfer, and he or she will tell you that the power it takes to get that ball flying does not come from the arms alone. Use your entire body to achieve maximum power. If you are used to fuelling the golf club with your arms, wrist and hands, then you might struggle at first trying to employ the rest of your body. Practice hitting the ball with using your torso and legs. Once you get the hang of swinging the club with your entire body, you will notice that you are sending that ball flying with more consistency and accuracy.

2. Swivel your shoulders perfectly each time you do a backswing. Your right forearm should be parallel to your spine and
