Swinging a Golf club is not the same as swinging a normal stick or a baseball bat.It requires a complex coordination of synchronized movements and timing on a network of skeletalmuscles, making sure that each would attribute to the others' movement rather than hinder them. The Proper Golf Swing has a few checkboxes to fill before you can perform the perfect one; these check boxes consist of proper grip, a comfortable posture and pedal angle.

A Comfortable Posture
Having a comfortable posture is one of the strategies on performing the perfect swing. You've got to relax the core muscles responsible for the swing movement; thus make sure that prior to swinging the golf club, make sure that your torso(this is where your erector spinae and latissimus dorsi are found which are responsible for turning your torso), thigh (where the hamstrings are found which are responsible for absorbing the shock while turning the torso) and hands are not feeling pressure. If one of these muscles are tensioned, it may cause to a wavy swing which is a slow swing, several methods have been described by seasoned golfers but do not work best when performed by anybody. This may be an indication that proper posture alone would not be sufficient if you font know how to make your body adapt to the golf club

A Good Grip
Holding a golf club requires a few instructions as well, this insures that your wrist won't absorb most of the shock which may lead to sprain. Here's a few basic grips used in golf.

1. The Vardon Grip is the most common grip used in golf; this insures good pivot and traction. This was first used by golfers Harry Vardon and James Braid; notice that the left index finger and right little finger are interlaced but not locked.
2. The Interlock Grip, though most golfers find the Vardon Grip, more stable, the Interlock grip gives a feeling of for the player to use his right hand during a swing.
3. The Baseball or Ten Finger grip is used commonly to women and children since it simplifies instructions and gives ease to those with small weak hands or suffering from arthritis.

The Swing
Now that you have chosen the grip of your choice, it's time for us to swing the golf club. Whether it is a drive, approach, lay-up, chip, pitch, bunker, flop or putt you're going to perform, always remember. Swing with your torso, not with your hands

That pretty much wraps it up, perform these practices several times with a golf club pretending to hit a ball until you feel comfortable enough with your posture, this means that your body has adapted to the swing. Once you have attained the adaptation process, you can try using other hand grip techniques and find the one which suits you best.

There is still much to learn about golf, thongs like, types of golf clubs (putters, drivers etc.), pedalangle, full shoulder turns, skulling or minning the ball, Swing Tempo, Club grip and many more.
