The success of a golfer's swing, as well as the health of his or her back, hips, and shoulders, depends on correct posture. The most important element of correct golf posture is a flat back and a slight bend forward at the hip joint.
Many golfers incorrectly bend at the waist, which creates a curve in the upper spine and interferes with full rotation of the spine. If the golfer instead shifts the weight back and bends at the waist, this allows the golfer access to the full spinal column, which then becomes a stable axis around which the torso can spiral.
The neck should remain straight and the head down, as to minimize excess force on the lumbar spine. This also allows for a better sight on the ball in relation to its surroundings, which in turn improves accuracy. Toes, hips, and shoulders align along the same axis, and knees bend for stability.
