Virginia Golfer July / August 2015 | Page 36

Your Game STAY ORGANIZED AT THE TOP Ever wonder where the top of your backswing should be? It is different for each golfer’s body and you must take some time to discover this for yourself. The most common mistake I see is too much overturning of the shoulders and hips on the backswing. Too much turning makes the body appear to be very broken. You should be organized and athletic at the top of your swing, as if you were ready to jump. This organized movement will allow you to discover your natural mobility while remaining stable at the same time.
