3 Simple Steps to Use
Your Core In Your
Golf Swing
While on vacation a few weeks ago, I decided to hit a few golf balls on
the practice range, but failing to pack my own clubs, I was forced to
use my son’s. As I warmed up gradually with several iron shots, I began
to think about starting my back swing by engaging my core, rather
than my hands and arms. Another ‘Yoga for Golfers’ instructor had
mentioned this strategy, while training in Phoenix last year.
Here are three keys that I focused on to accomplish a swing
using my core and not my arms.
1. Lift the sternum to extend and engage the core
2. Begin the twist from the left top rib and to keep my head
still and my eyes on the ball
3. Start the down swing beginning with the hips and
letting the hands and arms follow, being pulled by the
untwisting of the torso.
