In doing it I have been gradually breaking down a bad habit and helping him to form a new and a good one.

  You may still be wondering just why I go to work in this way.  Well, the golf player with the badly shaped golf swing has invariably developed the habit of throwing the golf club head outside the line at the top of the swing and rolling the right shoulder as he comes through the ball from outside to in.  He can only lurch through into a flat unbalanced finish.  You can see this sort of action perpetrated by scores of golf players on every golf course, every week-end.

  My method of teaching directs his golf club head along the correct line to its correct destination in the finish of the golf swing while giving him just sufficient movement back from the address position to set the action going along the required line.

  With this initial movement back from the ball, and no more, he is not allowed to reach the position from which he makes his cardinal error, the throwing of the golf club head outside the line at the top.

  He is being trained thus early to direct his golf club-line along the correct path and what comes later will be the more easily learned in consequence.

  Eventually when I am satisfied with the golf swing-shape he has developed I help him to put a delivery into that shape.

  My approach to the complete golfing beginner, the newcomer to golf, is rather different.  He has not yet fallen into any bad habits and I start him off mapping out the golf swing without a golf club.

  I take him through the complete swing with the right hand grasping the wrist of the extended left arm.  You will remember that I have recommended this golf exercise to induce the feeling of upper-left-arm-leverage.
