Hi Bigbird,

If you are at the range you can draw a chalk line about 3 feet long from the ball back on the mat, aim the line down your target line, set your feet parallal to this line, have the feeling you are standing on a railway line, feet one side, ball on the other.

Take the club away down this line for the first 2/3 feet only it should then come inside slightly once your arms reach waist height the club should be pointing to the sky (good Check point).

The above is the half swing...............

To progress to a full swing simply turn the shoulders to 90 degrees.....the arms should naturally raise up to the top.


Hope this helps.


Ian.
