Day 8

Your ability to keep your elbows together throughout your swing is determined by how flexible you are in your back and shoulders.  If there is any tightness in those areas, your trunk will stop rotating and your elbows will spread apart and bend in attempt to get the club parallel at the top of the swing: destroying the arc of your swing.

Ideally, you want to work on increasing flexibility and mobility to get your muscles through their full range of motion.  But to help accelerate your progress, you can always tie your elbows together to get the feeling of how to turn with the elbows in the proper position.

Using a stretch band that you can get at any sporting good store, place it around your elbows as shown. Make practice swings, feeling how your trunk and shoulders rotate without lifting your arms away from your body or spreading your elbows wider than they started at address.  Repeat several times, then take off band and try to keep the same feeling.
