Posture » Shoulders & Chest
Focus on staying in line + a tip for the well-endowed group!
Does your chest get in the way of hitting the ball?
Just because you are well-endowed doesn’t mean you cannot hit a golf ball like your smaller-chested peers. There is a simple solution for large-chested women. There is a solution! At address, don’t stand too upright; instead round off your shoulders. This allows your arms to hang away from your body and in front of your chest, allowing more room to swing freely around those puppies.
Shoulders in line with toes please. This is a good check point drill to ensure you have a good bend from your hip joints and that you are the correct distance from the ball. Place a shaft down parallel to the target line and sitting under your chin. If your bend is correct with an athletic knee flex, your shoulders should be in line with your toes.
