Steady Head
Good contact is the key to low scores and enjoyable golf. Striking the ball before the ground rids your scorecards of any duff shots where the ball travels shorter than you can throw it, and incredible frustration. If you knew you would be on or around the green in two or 3 in every round, you would be breaking 90, no problem.
The first principle of a good golf swing is maintaining a steady head. We all know this, but not everyone knows exactly how to do it.
Golfers want to try to make a full 90-degree shoulder turn and feel like they are staying over the ball. This might feel like the weight stays more towards the front foot, but we want to try and avoid any left-to-right or up-and-down movement throughout the swing.
