Golf swing instruction starts with an understanding of the different
segments of the golf swing. Understanding the golf swing segments will
give anybody a firm foundation to learn all the tricks of the trade
from others and thus be able to understand any golf swing instruction
aimed at helping them improve their game.
There are actually three segments to the golf swing. The segments are
the backswing, the downswing and finally the impact and follow
through.
Dividing the swing into these 3 segments helps to apply every
individual golf swing instruction or tip to the particular segments
where they apply.
It also helps the golfer focus on one segment at a time in their golf
swing instruction making it easier for them to remember what they
learn and also to be able to work on improving their game
systematically.
There is another bigger advantage to this approach. And that is the
ability to be able to draw ones attention to the many different parts
of the body and the many muscles involved in a proper golf swing....
