» Your ball is in what the Rules call "temporary water." You may play your ball as it lies or take free relief. You take free relief by finding the nearest point of complete relief where you are clear of the puddle and then drop your original ball away from the puddle and within one club-length of that point, not nearer the hole. You may also take relief from a puddle of water if your ball is in a bunker.

» Follow through completely and don't stop your swing abruptly after making contact with the ball. Allow the club to release naturally through impact, following the path established by your setup and body rotation. Trust your swing mechanics and focus on maintaining a smooth and fluid motion through impact.

» In a perfect world, at the top of your backswing, the club should be parallel to the ground and pointing towards the target. Your lead arm should be extended, with your wrists hinging naturally to create a 90-degree angle between the club shaft and your left arm.

» Your knees and hips should be more or less parallel to the line of where you're trying to hit the ball; however, a fade or draw will need a little adjustment. Your shoulders should have the feeling of being a touch open and your right arm the same height as your left or even ever so slightly higher than your left.

» Slightly adjusting the position of your right foot will change the width of your stance and therefore you'll be able to hit the ball at different points on the arc of your swing. In a perfect world this would mean hitting the ball on a slightly ascending strike with the driver and a slightly descending blow with the irons.
Shoulder tilt is the key to powerful swings

» When at the top of our swings our shoulders should be tilted from the top, not level as l see sometimes. Most golfers want to hit the ball long, and tilting your shoulders as we turn them will help tremendously. Shift your hips towards your target on your downswing so that your tailbone finishes up closer to the target. But your head should not get closer to the target or go too far over the back foot.
Master your left-hand placement

» When you place your left hand on the club you should have the feeling that your thumb is more or less on the top of the shaft. Whilst looking down you should see two knuckles on the back of your hand, the crease formed between the first knuckle on the index finger and the thumb, should be pointing to your right ear.
The secret to a perfect swing lies in setup

» Keep a clear mind when practising and remember that a good swing is a combination of a lovely grip, stance and posture and the way you position your body in relation to the target. If all is done correctly the chances of hitting a good shot will drastically increase.
Why conquering the mind is key to success
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 09/10/2024
» Looking back at the good rounds I've had, it was confidence that made them happen. As we all know golf is undoubtedly one of the most mentally challenging sports there is. It's an individual game and there's nobody to help you on the fairways if, and when, things start to go wrong. If self-belief goes and negative, irrational thoughts come into a golfing brain your score will quickly skyrocket.

» Golfers who are on the back nine of their lives, or in other words getting old and crumpled, can still enjoy a round of golf if they stop reminiscing of earlier days of smacking the ball way down the middle, with seamlessly no effort at all.
