Start by standing a few steps behind the ball, visualising the line to your target and how the ball will fly towards it. Approach the ball from behind and secure a solid grip on the club, choose something on the ground inline with the target about a 30cms infront of the ball. Set the club behind the ball square to the target and your chosen object, then adjust your stance. Let the club rest behind the ball to gauge the effect of any slope or uneven ground on how the ball sits. Once you understand the lie, reset the club behind the ball. Begin the swing with a slight forward press, as if you’re preparing to brace against something heavy.

In your backswing, as soon as the club reaches parallel to the ground, the toe should point up toward the sky. Continue swinging the club upwards, keeping your arms in front of your body, until you reach the top of the backswing where the clubhead points toward the ground again.

During the transition from backswing to downswing, you’ll feel your weight lower slightly as your right elbow moves toward your right hip. As your weight naturally shifts through the ball, your forearms will rotate, and your head will naturally stay behind the ball until impact, which occurs as your whole body turns through the swing.

On the follow-through, your forearms should finish out in front of you, wrapping around with the sensation that they’ve moved straight to the left (for a right-handed golfer). A balanced finish, with all your weight on your left side, will show how well the swing was executed. Your right foot will mainly help maintain balance.

To develop muscle memory, practice this swing slowly at home without a ball. Avoid watching the clubhead go back; focus instead on swinging through a specific spot. Always approach your practice swings from behind the ball. Aim for 10 to 20 swings each night to train your muscles for what your brain envisions. Using a weighted club during these drills can enhance the effectiveness of the exercise.
