San Diego Golf Instruction - Golf Address - Perfect Golf Posture - Mike Wydra
NCAA Hall of Fame coach Mike Wydra demonstrates how to achieve perfect golf posture by maintaining proper pelvic tilt. He explains how this 'center pivot' setup prevents swaying and allows the shoulders to turn at a 90-degree angle to the spine for consistent ball striking and divot patterns.
Maintain the natural 'space' or curve in your lower back during the address to ensure proper pelvic tilt.
A rounded back (like picking up an object) causes a sway, while a tilted pelvis allows for a stable center pivot.
Correct pelvic tilt seats the leg bone into the hip joint, making a proper turn almost automatic.
The shoulders should turn at a 90-degree angle to the spine to direct energy downward and create consistent divots.
Use a club against your back as a diagnostic tool to verify your posture before every practice session.
