The crucial role of foot positioning
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 15/05/2024
» To start any golf swing a forward press of some sort is required to start the action. Naturally we don't start many movements from a dead start. Your hands, hips, shoulders and legs will rock forward a little bit to help the reaction that gives the momentum needed for the backswing. This initiates the turn and the shift of the weight to the right foot; your hands will follow your turn into the backswing and your left heel will rise.

But my answer is invariably too simple, as the average golfer thinks there's a secret that makes a middle-iron shot land on the green and dance backwards.
Make your short game exceptional

» If you shoot around 95 you will see improvement in 5-shot jumps if you practice diligently and take a few lessons. Equally, a player who scores say 87 will quickly come down to 81/80. The next downward plunge would be to the middle 70's. Once you play 75 regularly you are not an average golfer but will be seen as pretty good.
