Learning to Square the Clubface

I think the hardest part of the golf swing is learning how to keep the clubface square. This is how I practice it.

I use a driver. This club is, in my opinion, the easiest club to hit because we are standing the most upright. It is therefore the club to use when you are learning how to keep the clubface square.

I pay lots of attention to my grip and to how I take the club away. From there, it’s figuring out how to swing without upsetting the clubface’s alignment.

How do you do that? Because everybody is different, I can’t say. Either make it your own exploration, or get a lesson(s). Hint: If the clubface is still square at the end of your backwing, you’re ninety percent there.

Once you have the matter figured out, transfer that swing to the rest of your clubs, always referring back to the driver as you do. Let you driver bleed into your 5-iron, not the other way around.
