If you’re a golfer a genuine passion to improve and really serious about lowering your scores it’s vital that you understand the values and the importance of installing good fundamentals.
The single most important and most overlooked fundamental is the setup. The setup writes the script for the swing and all too often amateurs struggle to get that part right.

Let’s take a look at World Number One Jason Day and review three key areas within his setup position.

POSTURE

Notice how Jason creates a strong and comfortable athletic posture ENGAGING all the key muscles in his back, hips and legs without forcing himself into any unnatural positions.

FEET

Positioning the feet correctly in terms of distance apart and weight distribution allows Jason to maintain perfect BALANCE throughout the swing from setup to finish.

ALIGNMENT

The body alignment that Jason creates at address directly influences the path and angle on which he swings the club. Notice how the arms hang down from the shoulders with the club shaft in PERFECT PLANE and the butt of the club pointing towards his belt buckle. His feet, knees, hips and shoulders all align with the club face, square to his target.
