This week we dive into three fundamentals every golfer should revisit regularly: Grip, Alignment, and Posture/Setup (GAPs). Even small mistakes in these basics can cascade into bigger swing issues. We share how the grip should sit more across the fingers than up the palm, why many golfers have a “fake strong” grip with poor thumb or heel pad placement, and how to connect the hands without leaving gaps. On alignment, we debate whether it really matters, why so many right-handed players tend to aim right, and how inconsistent setups between feet, hips, chest, and shoulders create trouble. Finally, we break down posture — hips over ankles, weight balanced in the front half of the feet, and avoiding the all-too-common squatty knee bend. Mastering GAPs may not be flashy, but it’s one of the quickest ways to improve consistency and ball-striking.
