The importance of correct setup posture for a successful golf swing

Posture is an important factor in any golf swing, and it has the benefit of being easily controlled. It is also a factor that can be practiced and repeated for every swing.

In this video golf lesson, PGA Professional Laird Small offers several helpful tips on getting the correct posture. Many golfers tend to get confused about how much to bend forward in a swing.

One tip Small offers in response to this problem is to put the hands on the thighs and push back from the hips until the fingertips touch the kneecaps. Having the correct setup posture will make for a more repeatable golf swing and more consistent results.
