Posture is the key to consistency in your golf swing. Simply take a look at all the top players in the world and you will see that they all have good posture in common.
Posture is the position from which movement in the golf swing begins and ends. Posture affects the following critical elements of the swing: balance (which influences club control), swing plane (which influences the direction of the ball and shape of the shot) and athleticism (which influences your power and ball striking).
When you have bad posture, you will be out of balance, and this will compound any problems you have in your swing. The key in posture is to make yourself up before you start. To establish proper balance in the setup, stand tall, with the feet directly under the hips, while holding a golf club directly behind the back. Unlock the knees but don't go into a crouch, slipping into a slight bend just as you would in your normal address position. Next, bend forward from the hips at about 34 to 38 degrees, which will push the seat and thighs backward and move your back and head forward. Finally, pull the club away from the back and let it hang straight down from the hands as the arms dangle.
