FUNDAMENTALS—THE IMPORTANT FIRST STEP

There is more than one way to swing a golf club effectively. Jack Nicklaus swings it differently than Lee Trevino, whose swing is different than Gary Player’s. Arnold Palmer has his unique style. Hale Irwin, Tom Kite and Curtis Strange don’t swing alike. Yet all are great champions.

What each of these and other fine players have in common are solid pre-shot fundamentals. These fundamentals may vary with the individual, but each player has developed a set that works for him.

Most amateurs who come to us for lessons want us to work on their swings. They are not satisfied with the way they are striking the ball, so they obviously think the problem lies in the way they are swinging at it.

On the other hand, almost all the Tour professionals who we see want us first to check their setup—their posture, body alignment and clubface aim. They understand all too well a principle that most amateurs either don’t appreciate or ignore—your setup dictates the way you swing the club, and your swing can only be as consistent as that setup.

Sam Snead, Tom Watson, Lee Trevino and Jack Nicklaus all swing differently ….but effectively.

The good, experienced player recognizes that if his swing isn’t working properly, it’s probably because his setup isn’t allowing it to work. He knows that if he gets his pre-shot fundamentals back in working order, his swing once again will begin to function well and consistently.

Good golfers prepare for success, and they do so by developing the pre-shot fundamentals that relate to the way they want to swing the golf club. Poor golfers prepare for disaster, usually by paying little attention to those important steps that must occur before the swing begins.

You need only two things to strike a golf ball—some kind of setup and some kind of swing motion. To strike the ball well and consistently on line, the setup and the motion must be compatible with each other and with the target.

The setup is the most important element in a successful—or unsuccessful—swing. So when you are having trouble, check that first. You almost always will find the answer to your problems, which occur because your swing instinctively will accommodate itself to your posture, aim and alignment. In other words, no matter how you stand to the ball and no matter where you aim, you will make a swing that will try to get the ball to the target. If your setup and aim are correct, everything will be fine. If they are not, you’re going to make compensations or adjustments in your swing, and therein lies danger.

* * *

Let’s take a moment to examine the ball-flight laws or influences. Understanding them will let you understand why the ball goes where it does and is the first step in learning to set up and swing correctly. There are only four elements in a golf shot—distance, trajectory, starting direction and curve. The five factors that create those characteristics are:

Clubhead path at impact.

Clubface position at impact.

Squareness of contact.

Angle of approach.

Clubhead speed.

These are the things that determine the flight of the ball—why a ball slices or hooks, goes high or low and travels far or not so far.

Discounting trajectory and distance, there are only nine ways
