Step 1: Backswing

The backswing should be equally focused on the body rotation and club and arm extension. The backswing is a fluid and on-piece motion with a straight front elbow, although this can be hard to do in the beginning. The back elbow should be bent at around 90 degrees if possible. If you do all these things then your backswing will be smooth and consistent.

Step 2: Downswing

Alot of golfers make the mistake to think the downswing begins with the arms. It should actually start with your legs. You should move your knees, then thighs and hips forward to transfer your weight from back to front. By doing this this you will increase the distance you hit the ball. Remember, this movement is supposed to be smooth and fast, just like a snake when it uncoils.

Step 3: Impact and follow-through

Now this is the action part, which is the impact with the ball. You club shaft has to form a straight line with the left, which is the forward arm. Your weight needs to be on your forward heel to the outside and on the inside of the back foot. Your hands and wrist should turn so that the grip of the club points at the target where you want to hit the ball. Then the wrists should rotate over and elbows bend, with the head of the club behind you. This will give you the distance and control you desire in your golf swing.

Whilst all of this can seem like a very complex motion, as long as you continue to practice you will start to get used to this motion. Again, make it a point to practice your swing whenever you can, even if it just going through the motions at home. Your muscles will be trained and conditioned to the movement. It will seem natural after awhile.

Follow these 3 simple steps to improve your consistency, and speed up the process of learning how to swing a golf club.
