How to Forward Swing for Left-Handed Golfers

Left-handed people can golf just as well as right-handed people, but certain adjustments have to be made to the average stance and swing. Unless they're fortunate enough to find a left-handed golf instructor, lefties need to imagine their golf instructor as their mirror image and follow the instructions in that manner.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Get into the proper stance. Place the left foot forward. Keep the posture held loosely in the correct form. Posture is one of the key elements of a good golf swing.

2. Key the swing to the 9 o'clock position for the forward swing. Grip the club with the right hand. Place your left hand over your right hand in a comfortable position. When the club reaches the 9 o'clock position the body must be in the correct stance and posture for maximum effectiveness.

3. Bring the golf club back square to the target upon reaching the 9 o'clock position.

4. Keep the hips a little open upon impact with the ball. Left-handed golfers have to place left foot straight and the right foot a little to the right.

5. Transfer the weight to the front foot, which would be the left foot for left-handed golfers, as the forward swing progresses downward.

6. Point the left toes up in the air slightly when you get to the 3 o'clock position in the forward swing.

Tips & Warnings

• Remember the golf instructions from a right-handed instructor are a mirror image for the left-handed golfer.
