Classic Swing Best for All

The classic golf swing over time has proven to be the most reliable method for 
consistency in a golf swing as it applies to every club the player uses.

Bob Jones stated in 1930 that "so long as man is constructed as he is, the 
principles for correctly striking a golf ball are not likely to change". 

To get a feel for this method, stand erect holding a club with arms extended and 
elbows pointing to the ground. Rest the shaft of the club on the right shoulder. 
(Right handed players)

Now turn the right side (hips and shoulders) away from the ball until the club 
shaft points well to the right of your objective.

Next, swing the hands, arms and club straight down from this position, down and 
up to where the club shaft is resting above the left shoulder.

This is the basic shape of the classic swing.
