There are three segments of the golf instruction swing sequence.
They are namely the back swing, the down swing and thirdly the
impact and follow through.
The first golf instruction swing sequence is the back swing,
which is very important to the entire golf swing. This is
because if the technique is not correct at this early stage, the
other parts of the golf instruction swing sequence will not
matter and the result will be a very poor drive. The main focus
at this stage of the golf instruction swing sequence should be
on body rotation and club and arm extension.
The downswing golf instruction swing sequence actually starts
with the legs and hips rather than the arms, which does the
actual swinging of the golf club. There should be a clear
transfer of body weight from back to front with the knees,
thighs and hips all starting to move forward. This is the
correct instruction for the downswing segment of the golf swing
sequence.
Finally at impact the body weight should be on the outside of
the forward heel and the inside of the rear foot. This is the
only correct golf instruction for this swing sequence.
Getting the golf instruction swing sequence right is really
impossible without golf-specific exercises to condition and
strengthen the relevant muscles. What you should remember is
that the golf swing is usually a very alien and unnatural
movement, which the body violently resists. This is the reason
why it is so difficult to get right the golf swing, something
that looks so simple and easy to master when you look at it from
a distance.
Golf specific exercises are a very effective way of getting the
body to adjust so that it will be a lot easier to master the
golf instruction swing sequence.
