How do you photograph a golf swing?
Set the camera control dial to manual mode with an aperture of f/5.6 and shutter speed of at least 1/800.

What is the basic golf swing?
The start of learning proper golf swing basics is to first get into that proper swing stance. Set both feet with your weight distributed evenly on the middle part of your feet. Set your hips back, and then angle your upper body and spine forward, facing the ball. Then bend your knees a bit to get some added stability.
What is the perfect golf swing?

How do I swing a golf club?
Swing the club forcefully toward and through the ball. If you are right-handed, you will swing the club to the left. Once you hit the ball, follow through with your body turn and club. Allow the club to continue to swing over your left shoulder.
How does a golf swing work?
The golf swing has physics written all over it and is a great example of angular motion. The twisting swing produces torque on the club. This torque force changes the angular velocity of the club, causing rotation. Most club heads weigh about the same, so the key to being able to hit the long ball lies in the club head velocity.
