Learning the Golf Swing



Karinna and Jeremy enjoy going to the golf range. Both of them do a fairly decent job of taking the club back and turning through the swing. I agonized over whether I should change their baseball grips to the traditional Vardon golf grip - and I ultimately decided to keep it simple and let them do what comes easiest... at least for now. What's interesting is that they both naturally apply a lag in their swing release (as evidence by how they fold their rear facing elbows into their sides). Once they start hitting the ball in the sweet spot, it should go pretty far given the leverage they are applying. Jeremy's right handed, but he uses left handed golf clubs (he swings left-handed in baseball too). Since his dominant hand is the one at the bottom of the grip, he naturally has an inside-out swing. In baseball terms, he's prone to pulling the ball.
