Here’s a simple golf tip to make sure that your club starts on the proper path on the backswing. Golfers often get into trouble and out of sequence when they take the club too far inside on the backswing. This causes them to be laid off at the top and to come into the ball on a steep plane, which causes inconsistent shots.

To start this golf tip, get a small piece of wood and place it directly behind your club head. As you take the club back, push the piece of wood away from the ball making your club travel more down the path of the target line. From there, rotate to the top, where you should be in perfect position to make a good strike at the ball.
