The golf swing sequence can be broken down into four steps: address the ball, backswing, downswing, and follow through. Skip any of these four steps, and the result will be a poorly hit ball that misses its intended target.

Address the ball. Line up parallel to the ball with the top of club touching the inside of your thigh. The face of the club should be aimed at the target.

Backswing. Raise the club without hurry and with careful precision. The reason for the backswing is to position arms and club for the downswing.

Downswing. Move the hips, legs, and arms slightly toward the target, and move the club downward. Now is the time for speeding up the club, but keep the motion fluid.

Follow through. Don’t stop the swing after hitting the ball. Also keep your head down and focused on the ball until after the ball is hit.
