The document discusses the biomechanics of the golf swing. It begins by defining biomechanics and explaining how understanding biomechanical principles can help improve skills and prevent injuries. It then breaks down the analysis of a golf swing into key steps - stating the objective, identifying the movement pattern, breaking the skill into phases, and detecting errors. Specific biomechanical principles that are important for an effective golf swing are then discussed in more detail, including balance, accuracy, momentum, swing plane, and the collision between the ball and club. Common swing errors are also listed.
