   The ONLY way is to take lessons from a golf pro, may be pricey but weel worth it. I have also found that playing as opposed to spending countless hours on the driving range also helps as hitting off of "fake" grass does not help the swing. It also depends on your level of skill, have you just started to play, or do you just have the yips!! In any event, seek help my friend, you cant give yourself a haircut can you?

   I disagree with those that say it is 100% necessary to take lessons. I started playing golf when I was 10 years old and I have never once taken a lesson. Now I'm 24 and I can shoot in the high 70's or low 80's. I'm by no means a pro but if you just want to play for fun and get somewhat decent, you can teach yourself.

   Don't listen to anything anyone says because then everything you hear will run through your head during your back swing and will make your swing worse than it already is.. Just relax and have fun and in time you will get better no matter how bad you are.. Practice makes Perfect.

   The golf swing is a complex movement made up of four simple parts.
   1.The body movement which is usually refered to as rotation; though I feel this is a misnomer.
   2.A raising and lowering of the arms; in other words not much lateral movement relative to the sternum.
   3.A cocking and uncocking of the wrists, directly towards the left thumb and away from it, radial and unlar movement.
   4. Lower arm rotation which sets the club shaft in the plane (or at the right pitch) in the back swing and which squares-up the club face at impact.

   The first step, in developing a good swing, is to train the correct body movement. The back swing is a taking away of the right side in a movement directly away from the target line; followed by a lateral shift to the left with the left knee and pelvis in the transition phase between the back swing and downswing and then a strong thrusting back from the target line with the left hip coupled with a drive of the right knee as the club is "released down and through the ball
