Shoulders. (Changed - 21/11/2011)


Remember this statement:-
If you are experiencing erratic golf shots, it is most probably because you have fallen in to a habit of lifting the arms/golf club to the end of the back swing movement - instead of using the rotational movement of the shoulders to push the arms to the end of the back swing movement.

Therefore in order to play good golf, you must hold the elbows close together, keep the biceps against the chest cavity thus forming the shoulders and the arms into a very compact unit. keep the arms in a totally passive condition -- and literally use the rotational movement of the shoulders to push the passive arms/golf club to the end of the back swing movement.

(To a casual observer, a golf swing performed by a golfer who lifts the arms to the end of the back swing movement will appear to be same as a golfer who uses the shoulders to move the arms, simply because the shoulders automatically follow the movement of the arms.)

Therefore from the moment you begin the golf swing you must make a conscious effort to ensure that the upper body unit remains firmly held together and use the rotational movement of the shoulders to push the passive arms to the end of the back swing movement.
