Everyone knows that the secret to good golf is good form. If you get all those golf channels from places like directstartv.com then you know what I’m talking about – the pros are pros because they not only have the knowledge of the game but the form to deliver and score a win. If you want to golf like a pro then you need to look like one and we have the tips that can help you get started.

1. Grip – hold the club properly with your fingers, not your palms.

2. Adjust – make sure your thumbs are aligned when you grip but don’t grip too hard or you could ruin your swing.

3. Knees – bend your knees slightly and make sure your feet are an even space apart; shoulder-width for a driver and less for an iron.

4. Waist – bend your waist, but be sure not to hunch over.

5. Pivot – as you swing, make sure the axis of your spine is doing all the work. If you need an idea for where your hands should be, your thumbs should be over your right ear on the start of your downswing.

6. Hips – now turn your hips as you swing on down.

7. Fluid follow – it should be one fluid motion on the journey from the downswing to the ball.

Another thing that makes the pros what they are is practice, practice, practice.
