Hi,
I've recently taken up golf and I was really struggling (I've had two lessons).
What I have found that works is that if I keep my left arm completely straight until the last helf of my back swing and then keep my left arm straight on the last half of my down swing, that I can hit the ball really well.
Is this a normal method?
I also stretch my arms out further than usual as I have to stand a bit further from the ball than most people because I have big arm muscles and big chest muscles from lots of gym work. If I don't do this then my arms hit my chest, causing things to get out of shape.
I know some people will say 'do it if works' but I want to learn in the best possible way and do everything right.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
