The ability to hinge is paramount for fitness movements and
your golf swing. When your swing is off, it may be that you’re
dipping your knees to create the hinge. This typically creates
a C-Posture (butt-tuck with a rounded back.) Instead, grab a
club and place it on your hips. With a straight back and
knees, hinge yourself in half (butt goes back to initiate this
move). Once hinged, soften the knees and drop your hands
under your shoulders. Voila! Great golf posture.
