Golf Help with Common Golf Swing Faults

With these free golf help tips you will be able to solve some of the most common golf swing faults with the fixes I have provided.

Do you have any golf questions? Click Here to submit them!

Almost all swing faults are a direct result of poor basic fundamentals namely grip, stance, posture and swing plane.


Should you try to correct your faults without applying good fundamentals you will always struggle to improve. Therefore I strongly advise you to go back to “basics” and get a better understanding of them before continuing.

Once you understand the basics better, improvement will be a breeze.

Changes you make to your swing will feel uncomfortable, and it will only feel that way till the new way is


repeated enough times.

It is important for you to understand that permanent change only takes place through repetition, perseverance, patience, and practice. Having a positive mind frame will also be a great self help.

Do you have a question? Why not write to me and let me answer it.
