Beginner golf swing instruction can sometimes be a little confusing when it doesn't need to be. If you're just beginning to golf you just need to learn the fundamental principles, which make up a good golf swing.
As a beginner you don't want to get any more complex than that when first learning the golf swing. So in this article I'm going to take you through the basic mechanics of the golf swing and in just three steps help you to learn a golf swing which will produce good, solid shots on a consistent basis.
Step One: Set-up
A lot of the beginner golf swing instruction out there doesn't really emphasize the important of a good set-up, after all it's 'swing' instruction, but that's an error on their part.
You see even if you learn a great swing and produce a great swing it will not matter if you don't have a good set-up, you will still produce mediocre shots. However if you have a really great set-up then you will be able to produce decent shots much easier, even when you're just beginning to learn how to swing.
So first if all take your club and your grip, now whatever grip you use you really want to make sure that it is nice and neutral. To do this check that the 'Vs' formed by the thumb and forefinger on both hands point towards your right ear.
Next put your clubhead square behind the ball and ensure that the face of your club is facing the target. Then take your stance, your feet should be about shoulder width apart for your mid irons, for short irons a little narrower, for the driver a little wider.
