When it comes to your golf swing there is a lot to think about including your stance, grip, back-swing and down-swing, so let’s just take it one step at a time.

There’s no one thing which determines whether or not you have a good golf swing. Your stance, grip, back-swing and everything else is important and the secret is to get them all working together in concert. So, take a good deep breath, relax, let the tension go from your arms and let’s get started.

Stand with your heels about shoulder width apart and get comfortable. Take a firm grip on the club, but don’t squeeze the life out of it. The secret is to grip the club firmly

enough so that you can control it, but no more.

Imagine, just for a second that you are a golf swing instructor. And you have made arrangements to conduct an on course golf swing lesson with three of your good clients.

All three are in need of golf instruction and you are fully prepared to give them the works today.

It’s a great day! You feel thankful that you have this opportunity to spend time out on the course.

That driving range stuff can really get old.

And here they come. Three wannabees. The good news is that they are best friends. And they get along with each other very well. So it should be a really good day. Right?

For most golfers it is the golf slice that gives us the most headaches out on the golf course. But, for many others who hook the golf ball, the problem can be just as frustrating. So, how can you stop hooking the golf ball and begin hitting more fairways? It’s easier than you might think and I’m going to show you how to get immediate results.

Stance - Position the ball in the middle or a little forward in your stance. For most golfers who hook the ball I see them position the ball too far back in their stance. You want to keep the ball in the middle or even with your left heel (if you’re right-handed). Make

sure you position your feet toward your target line. Both of the tips of your toes should be even, or a little to the left of the target line. This more open stance will help reduce the chances of hooking the golf ball. Don’t position your left foot more forward in your stance than your right. Keep them even.

Back Pain Relief Tips For Pregnant Women

Back pain is one of the banes that generally go with pregnancy. It is a common complaint. More than 50 % of the pregnant woman population suffers from it.

Back pain during the pregnancy is mainly due to change in the contours of the body of the woman, as baby grows within and puts on additional weight, month after month to the mother. This extra weight causes a change in the center of gravity of the woman’s body. Major hormonal changes are also noticed in the early stages of the pregnancy, which is an additional cause of the back pain.
