Should I have a routine to help my golf posture? Well if you’re struggling with your posture, then yes definitely because if you follow a good routine your posture is going to improve and if your posture improves, it’s massively going to improve your golf swing because posture affects the angle that you swing the club around you at. So first of all let’s have a look at the correct posture to be in, you want to work on keeping your back really straight so the best rule to do for this is just to place your golf club down your back so your head is touching the golf club your shoulders are on the golf club and so is the bottom of your back.

You take your stance width up, you now want to tilt forward keeping your back and your head all in a straight line, and that’s a really good position to get into with your posture, what you don’t want to do is just curve form the shoulders up and from the waist because it creates this curved position and that’s going to make it really difficult when if you’re swinging it from here to rotate well. So you won’t make a good golf swing. So in order to get this where we can go in the straight line position and then tilt forward, what I do is when you come in to address the ball, before you address the ball, just hold the club up so the club is at waist high and horizontal, and then stand up straight so you can really feel that straight line, and what you want to work on doing now is tilting forward from the hips to lower that club down, you tilt forward keeping the back straight until the arms are dangling free from your body in onto your shoulders and then just soft on the knees to take the pressure out of the hamstrings. And if you do that on every shot you’ll get into a much more consistent posture, you’ll have a much straighter back and you’ll start hitting better golf shots.
