Mastery of golf's fundamentals is the first step toward better golf and consistent iron play. The fundamentals form the framework and the foun¬dation upon which the entire swing is constructed.
Actually, building a swing is much like an architect building a house. If he builds it hurriedly—without a good set of plans—it becomes structurally weak and the slightest of pressures could send it tumbling to the ground. Such is the case in golf.
Since you are the principal architect of your swing, how can you develop it so that it will consistently repeat itself, swing after swing, no matter what club you may have in your hand? Where do you start and what should you work on to develop your swing? The answers to these questions lie prin¬cipally within the framework of golf's four fundamentals:
(1) The Grip
(2) The Address
(3) The Backswing
(4) The Downswing
DEVELOPING THE SWING
From the outset, every golfer should realize that certain procedures must be followed if he is to develop a swing.
There is a certain fundamental process, or sequence, involved in learning how to play golf, and it cannot be circumvented.
THE PROCEDURE.
To the beginner, and even some advanced golfers, this fundamental process of learning how to play golf may seem a little involved, but it actually is not, particularly if you develop your game in an orderly, sensible manner. The orderly sequence would be this way:
1. You learn to swing first by practicing the fundamentals.
2. Secondly, you learn to control the ball by practicing intentional fades,
hooks, high shots, and low shots.
3. Finally, incorporating the first two phases into your over-all game you
learn how to score by playing as regularly as you can.
