I think it is important to get a refresher course for our golf swing in our Essential Golf Skills. I am going to highlight them one by one over the next several weeks. I have included two videos:

1. The Introduction to my Seven Essential Skills.

2. Part 1 of the Pre-Swing, Grip and Posture.

The President’s Cup had great shots and great golf in general. These guys are so good at Pre Swing Essentials, it is second nature.

The Grip is where golf starts. Nothing happens until you grip the club. There are three functions of a good grip and the video below will highlight them for you.

Posture is how you bend over to the ball and prepare to swing. There are some keys to posture that will help you in the video as well. Watch the following video and check your current skills against the thoughts in the video and adjust if necessary.
