Supplies

A person and a golf club (That's not a driver or putter.)

Holding the Club

Grab the golf club with your non dominant hand and hold the club end straight up in the air. The head of the club should point towards you. Keep your thumb straight against the grip.

Stance

Put your dominant hand over the non dominant hand and hold it the same way. Stand with your legs shoulder width apart and drop the club end to the ground.

Lower Torso

Bend your knees slightly and keep your back strait. Have the top of your club height of your belly button. Move your butt out like your sitting right on the edge of a seat and keep your arms straight.

Upper Body

When swinging, keep your non dominant/closest arm straight. Bend your dominant arm. On the back swing, the club should go straight back, not over your head. If you pull back too high, the alignment of your shot will be off.

Swing Form

When you swing it's not aggressive but in a Smoove motion and don't be rock solid but a bit loose when you swing. Do not aggressively swing at the ball but let the club fall and when you hit it don't keep still open your body facing where you hit it.

Reflection

The reason I chose this for my instructable is because I like to play golf and I wanted to teach people properly after seeing the crazy ways people have held the club when they didn't know what they're doing. I learned to not have the club over my head and not to be stiff but to be loose with my swinging form.
