So looking at this tip now, we’re looking at how we can utilize that good golf posture we’ve just worked on and actually implementing out on to the golf course. It’s all well and good looking good in practice and looking good in front of the mirror. When we’re actually out on the golf course, you got to make sure of this technique and this good posture stays with you. So I think one of the crucial things I’d like to see you do is make sure you have a really good routine. So every time you setup to the golf ball, you go through that same routine and process, be that on the driving range, in front of the mirror or out on the golf course. So we might be picking out spot out in the distance, setting up to the side of the ball, having that good posture, hips back, chest up, chin up, got a good relaxed arm position. That’s the nice posture we’re going to use.

One practice swing where the skim the ground at the right level, then we can go straight forwards and hit the ball. But having the process of the same routine each time should keep our posture the same, be it on the 1st tee or on the last tee.

Now other things we want to try and associate within the golf course is well in terms of the posture is how that posture relates to different slopes. And we’ve got uphill, downhill, left to right, right to left slopes. Now if we’ve got a downhill slope, so let’s say the ball is below my feet. So I’m up nice and tall and the ball is down below me. I’m actually going to have to tilt forward a little bit further. So I’m going to have to lean over a little bit more to get down to that ball. But I still want to remain my bal – I still want to retain my balance, so my hips go back, my balance sits a little bit on my heels for this down slope and I lean forward a lot more. And then the counter to that one is when the ball above my feet a little bit. So the ball is up above me a little bit. I’m actually going to stand up a little bit taller.

Now I still maintain the hips pushed back, chest up position. I don’t want to slouch or slump here, but I would have the club a little bit higher up in the air and have my body a little bit taller. Now if you also consider how that might look on down slopes and up slopes where we’re side onto the slope. So let’s imagine we’ve got a downhill slope here, so my right foot is going to be higher than my left and I’m leaning this way. So my body will actually align nice and parallel to the slope. So I’ll have my right foot up in the air, my left foot down low. My posture would tilt this way and I’ll actually allow the club to follow the heel. That posture position would help me allow the club to follow the heel.

One little tip there we’d also move the ball back in the stance a little bit. Having the ball back in the stance in that position would retain a good strike. And then conversely if we’re playing on an upslope where my left foot is going to be higher than my right effectively like a ramp going uphill, my posture would still tilt sideways parallel to the slope, shoulders parallel to the slope, spine angle perpendicular to the slope. I’ll keep the ball position in its normal place here and find my way up the hill to make sure I have a good follow through and I don’t get dragged backwards upon the back foot. So hopefully with that little important tip there, you can take the good process of having the right posture that you’ve had in practice implement it on the golf course, and utilize it in those four different challenging.
