Every golfer wants to improve their handicap and improve the quality of their swing technique. There is one problem however, there is no such thing as a perfect swing and your golf ability and handicap are connected to how much you practice and concentrate on improving the rhythm of your swing. There is no such thing as a perfect golf swing? The laws of human nature make it impossible to have a perfect swing, so what you need to do is concentrate on repeating the swing you do have with a rhythm that allows you to get the most out of it. This is how you will improve your handicap and play well consistently. To improve your handicap work on the two elements of good rhythm:

Would you like to swing perfect every time? If so, you need to focus on the fundamentals of your swing. The first fundamental to work on to swing perfect, is a perfect takeaway. This motion starts your swing and, believe it or not, most bad swings are all started with a far from perfect takeaway, that is often too quick and done predominantly with the wrists. Before you swing, you'll notice that as you place the club behind the ball your arms, shoulders, hands, and the club from a perfect triangle. (If they don't take up tennis) The perfect swing has to be synchronized from the beginning, so you need to focus on keeping the exact shape of that triangle as you pull the club back. Keep that triangle until your swing passes by your right thigh, or your left thigh if you stand on the wrong side of the ball. (ha ha)

Pulling the club back away from the ball should be a perfectly controlled, smooth motion as it will set the rest of your swing up for good tempo, which is what you need to hit a perfect golf shot. You can even practice this move in your living room by swinging the club back in slow motion, focusing on keeping the perfect shape of that triangle until it passes your thigh. Your swing plane back should be one where the club and your hands do pass closely to your thigh, if they don't your takeaway is a little outside.
