Proper golf stance and posture are fundamental to achieving a consistent and effective golf swing. Here's how to establish the correct stance and posture in golf:
Stance:
Alignment: Stand parallel to your target line. Your feet, hips, and shoulders should be aligned with the intended target. Use alignment sticks or a club on the ground to help with alignment.
Width: For most shots, your feet should be about shoulder-width apart. This provides a stable base for your swing. For longer clubs like drivers, you can have a slightly wider stance.
Weight Distribution: Distribute your weight evenly between both feet. Avoid leaning too far forward or backward. Your weight should be centered.
