Good golf starts by working on skills in the correct order. 

 

Most golfers are taught form before function.

 

They are taught the grip, a straight left arm, and keep your head down before they learn how to make the ball fly. 

​

The function of the golf swing should take precedent over the form. 

 

While certain looks affect the balls flight, golfers should learn what causes the flight first.  

​

You must be able to

(1)get the ball airborne to carry trouble

 (2) control the distance the ball flies 

 (3) have a repeatable pattern of direction. 

​

To achieve these requirements the golfer has to manage 4 skills:

​

1. Control low point or where the club bottoms out

2. Hit the center of the clubface 

3. Align the clubface in a repeatable manner

4. Manage the path of the clubhead 

​

These are the 4 essentials. Learning these skills  in order will accelerate improvement.
