Nick Price was one pro who helped him correct his posture and stance and his swing improved. Posture and stance are two key areas when it comes to perfecting your swing. Here is what Retief says about his golf swing and how to improve yours. "Obviously I'm aware that not everyone will be able to call on such advice from someone who's been there and done it such as NIck Price. Therefore, I would recommend asking for some coaching down at your local golf club and maybe watching a few videos to see how the pros do it. There are plenty around to learn from. " Retief went on to say "When you are younger, coaching is important. But once you have the basics right maybe a coach can complicate the situation - that's what I found. I used to have a coach but I'm somebody who likes to keep it as simple as possible. I don't like to think of too many things when I'm playing golf. I haven't used my coach for four years and I've found my golf's improved by playing the game and not thinking too much about different techniques. " In conclusion, to improve your swing try seeking some advice from people in the know about posture and stance. Your best bet is your local golf club. Once you have perfected these basics, you have to make a decision about what works best for you.  2001 US Open Champion 2004 US Open Champion |
