Your Partner As a Teacher

Your Golf partner is not a replacement of a Golf Coach or your local resident but he can offer valuable insights in improving your game.  You partner reads Golf books and you can tap into that knowledge. The good thing it is all free of charge. Remember sharing knowledge is a two way street, make sure you give back as much as you get.

Your Partner Can Be Your Best critic

A good relationship is based on sincerity, a golf partner should be honest with you and have the courage to tell you you are wrong when you do silly things. When your golf partner critiques your game, take it in the chin. Don’t take offense because he means well for you. Oscar Wilde famously said “A good friend stabs you in the front”

Someone To Talk To In the Greens

Enjoying the game is not the only reason people play Golf. People talk a lot of stuff when they are stranding up and down the greens. A Golf partner can come in handy when you want to exchange opinions on politics and business or even intimate personal problems.

Your Partner as Your Hero

If your primary goal is to improve your game, the person whom you choose as a Golf partner should be someone you are able to admire and for whom you have high value and respect. The person should be very motivating, as well as stimulating.

A proper hip turn / hip rotation / hip movement is very important if you want to make a perfect golf swing. When hip action is done correctly, you’re able to swing the club at any speed.

Key Muscles For Golf Hip Movement

To get a proper hip turn, the key muscles for hip movement have to be strong and flexible. These are gluteal and hip.  For the average person these muscles are tight because of our modern lifestyle of sitting every where, in the office at home and during driving. To get them strong do resistance training and to make them flexible make sure you stretch them.

Correct Hip Position

According to Golf Tips Mag.

To achieve proper hip action, simply take your setup and, in slow motion, swing into impact and pose. Then, take a club and lay it across your hips—it should point at a 45-degree angle (most poor golfers create only a 10-degree hip angle at impact). This 45-degree impact angle is critical, and you can get there correctly by simply making your hips shuttle diagonally to the 45-degree position—a shortcut I call “oblique left” for righties, or “oblique right” for lefties. The shortcut works because of the way the body coils in the backswing. Studies show that at the top of the swing, the hips should have rotated 45 degrees, and from this position, all you have to do is simply move over to the impact position, and the shift, the slide and the pivot will take care of themselves.

To get a visual understanding of hip turn in Golf,  watch this hip drill and see sequenced hip rotation through the golf Swing.
