Starting with a strong posture makes it easier to execute a powerful, repeatable golf swing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In the images on the left, the left side is too high, the arms are rigid, there is insufficient forward bend, and the hips are positioned too far left. A raised left side is a common mistake when using a driver.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The images on the right demonstrate a more neutral setup, with increased forward bend and a relaxed, lower left side. This promotes a smoother, more efficient backswing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sanctuarycovegolf.com.au\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Steve-Coaching-Tip_28-March-2025.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-83552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sanctuarycovegolf.com.au\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Steve-Coaching-Tip_28-March-2025-600x334.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sanctuarycovegolf.com.au\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Steve-Coaching-Tip_28-March-2025-600x334.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.sanctuarycovegolf.com.au\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Steve-Coaching-Tip_28-March-2025-768x427.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sanctuarycovegolf.com.au\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Steve-Coaching-Tip_28-March-2025.jpg 868w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Take advantage of our special offer: book and pre-pay for a four-lesson package to receive a 15% discount off the regular single-lesson price.<\/p>\n<p>Why not set up a game improvement program over several lessons?
