The Fairway Primer

The Swing

The motion everything else is built on. These guides cover holding the club so the face squares up naturally, setting your grip, stance, posture, and alignment, and making a balanced, repeatable swing instead of an all-out lunge. We work through the faults nearly every beginner meets first, the slice, the hook, topped shots, and the chunk, and how to diagnose and fix the cause rather than chase the symptom.
