Basic posture, great result!

One of the most important parts of the golf swing starts here at the posture. It can't be ignored as it has a direct relationship with the movement of the club on the correct plane line. In the image we can see Els setting up to the driver, the one club that most amateurs find difficult to play with.


The importance of the correct posture are clear to see, the back of the head and the lower back form a straight line. his back is in the 'plank'. His arms are fantastic as they just hang freely.
The second part of the setup is the lower half, note the the knees are not bent as such but more flexed. If they were bent his upper body would not look as tilted resulting in his back looking more vertical.

Something to also make sure that you have in your feel is the placement of your weight. Placing the weight in the correct part of he feet will have a certain bearing on the movement of the swing. ( view the pics of Tiger and not the weight is spread evenly on both legs 50/50) Ernie's weight in the image above is correctly off the heels but not on the toes.
Build on this improvement of the posture to increase the consistency of the swing.
