1 Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Your left foot should be slightly ahead of your right foot.
2 Hold the club in your left hand with your grip slightly stronger than you would for a right-handed swing. Your right hand should be placed on top of the club, with your thumb on the same side of the grip as your left hand.
3 Take your stance with your back to the target. Your left shoulder should be slightly lower than your right shoulder.
4 Start your swing by taking the club back with your arms and body. Your left arm should remain straight throughout the swing.
5 At the top of your swing, your arms should be extended and your club should be pointing at the sky.
6 Begin to bring the club down through the ball, keeping your arms and body connected. Your left arm should remain straight throughout the swing.
7 At impact, your club should be hitting the ball just below the center of the clubface.
8 Follow through your swing by rotating your body through to the finish. Your left arm should be extended and your club should be pointing at the target.
