There is no better feeling than swinging through a golf ball and having hit a straight solid shot down the middle of the fairway. Fellow players will be jealous indeed when you start to improve your swing and reduce your score over the next few rounds. Learning how to swing a golf club the right way can improve the casual golfers game greatly if mistakes are avoided and the proper amount of practice is given.

Breaking down a golf swing is most commonly done by separating the backward motion from the forward motion and concluding with the follow thru. Looking at these motions individually can effectively bring swing hindrances to light.

As you start the backward motion or back swing, keep the club head close to the ground. You can keep from bringing the club head off the ground too rapidly by verifying your arms are fully elongated during the beginning of your backward motion. Flexing the calf muscles along with concentrating on the ball will help ensure you retain the appropriate posture as your body weight shifts to your right-foot.

The second part of your swing is the forward motion. Your body-weight will shift from your back foot to your front foot while at the same time smoothly bringing the club head forward in a clock-like motion increasing its velocity as it approaches the ball. At the moment of impact, the greatest part of your body-weight will be on your front foot and at this point you will commence your follow through.

Please place importance on the follow thru portion of the swing. All too often the follow thru is mishandled and written off as negligible. At the conclusion of your full swing motion, your body should be facing your intended target. Also, your right foot should be turned such that your right big-toe is helping to balance the weight of your body.

Practicing in front of a mirror can be a good exercise. In order to perform this exercise properly however, you should practice each portion of the swing separately, then as whole. Pay close attention to your posture, the club head sweeping the ground and the shift of your weight from one side of the body to the other.

It may help to stop by your local golf course’s driving range to hit balls once every couple of days. Maintaining the uniformity of your golf swing is all about teaching your body to remember how to swing a golf club. Before you know it, it will all seem natural, keeping you from having to think about your shot at all.

Provided you have given enough effort, you will be rewarded with a more uniform and harmonious golf swing. You will begin to notice your golf game enter a new higher class of play. Soon all your golf buddies will be asking you how to swing a golf club.
