Golf is a sport that is played and loved by millions of people from around the world and every single part of the game is scrutinised by fans who are all eager to find out what makes the perfect golf swing. Everyone has their own ideas on this and can execute a good swing to a greater or lesser extent. So what is the secret to having a golf swing that will make you proud and ensure that you are driving the ball in a clean line that will get you ever loser to your target?

It is crucial that you think of the perfect golf swing as being one movement and not in two parts as some people do. Often there is confusion over the back swing and the down swing - where does one start and the other one end? The answer to this is that there should not be two separate parts of the swing,it should be one fluid movement that is used to power the ball as far as possible.

During the swing it is important that a player understand the mechanics of the swing in order to get the maximum benefit from it. A good way to to do this is to keep moving when you reach the top of the back swing and then begin the down swing. It can sometimes help to imagine the way your body reacts during this movement and think of yourself as being like a coiled spring that goes so far in one direction then whips back and follows the same path back towards the ground.

Doing this will create a swing that is not jerky or hard to achieve as your body will naturally do this if you are performing the correct movement and you will soon see the results in your game.
