Does it matter which golf ball I use? 
Yes. Christina explains the bet ball for newer players

SWING ESSENTIALS
Grip, Posture and Alignment are the name of the game.

Let’s Swing
It’s time to hit a ball. Yipeee! Christina walks you through step-by-step swing progressions.

Let’s Tee Off
Let’s launch this puppy with on the tee box driver essentials. We’ll cover routines, target, water, driver setup and swing keys.

Fairway Essentials
Let’s get this puppy airborne from the fairway with all the essentials. Learn about divots, the swing’s arc, impact, and lots more.

An Awesome Grip
A proper grip allows the club to hinge and unhinge with ease. An awesome grip also helps to square the face at impact. Many players struggle with maintaining a proper grip. In this section, let’s cover the essentials for a solid grip.

Understanding Posture
In this section, let’s identify the keys for both. Static posture is your address position. Dynamic posture is your swing’s posture in motion. Posture is comprised of bends and tilts (rotation), which keeps the concept of posture simple.

Alignment
An essential part of the game is getting the ball to the target. How? With great alignment.

Club Setups
In this section, we’ll cover setup with the driver all the way down to the wedge. Setup sets the stage for a successful, effortless swing. As a newer player, your goal is to groove setups from driver to wedge.

What is Swing Plane?
Before we begin our swing progression skills, let’s first understand the swing’s radius.

Takeaway Keys
The takeaway is just that. We are taking the club away from the address position.

Popular Culprits
As you groove your takeaway into the backswing, let’s make you aware of some of things that could go off, so you can stay on track to your first par. I’ll share popular culprits for both the takeaway and backswing, which really are a blend. They are pals.

Structure Begins Here
The first step to creating structure is connection. Connecting the upper arms to the torso provides a solid foundation.

At the Range
Let’s practice your new swing skills at the range!

On the Course
Are you ready to hit the course? Awesome. Christina provides tips to help transfer your range game to the course.

Target & Routine

Steps to Great Impact
The most important part of the golf swing is impact. That’s the point at which the club meets the ball. Getting really good at impact should be one of your primary objectives.

Equipment
Putting represents more that 50 percent of all your strokes during a round, yet few take the time to get fitted.

What is Lie Angle?
Most putters have a 70˚ lie angle. This is why the putting stroke has to swing on an arc (not straight back and straight through).
