'To find a man's true character, play golf with him' - (P.G. Wodehouse).
Here are our tips for the Perfect Golf Swing:
1) Line up your feet and shoulders and point them at the target.
2) Bend your knees to allow the club head to lay flat on the ground.
3) Keep your left arm straight throughout the golf swing to maintain a perfect circle from back- swing to follow-through.
4) Make sure the hips and knees are following the swing to maintain the weight shift.
5) Keep your head down and your eye on the ball to make optimal contact with the centre of the club face.
6) A good follow-through can increase both distance and accuracy.
