The five pieces of advice you should ignore if you want to improve your golf

In the last of his series of 3 videos for new golfers Chris identifies the well intentioned but misleading advice you need to avoid.

1. Keep your head still - someone at some point will say this to you but it will limit your golf swing
2. Focus on keeping your lead arm straight - why a little bit of bend in your lead arm is actually ok
3. You need to swing straight - Chris takes you through a simple drill to illustrate why this isn't the case
4. Keep your legs still - what you need is the right movement in your legs
5. Don't get custom fitted clubs when you're learning - if you're serious about golf, clubs that are fitted to you will really help your game
