The One-Piece Takeaway Movement — In Posture 
 
1. Set up in your usual posture when addressing the golf ball. 
2. Place your hands on the front of your shoulders. 
3. Firm your whole body. 
4. Be aware that your spine is now angled forward. 
5. Pull your right shoulder straight back to be above your right heel. 
6. But, since your spine is angled forward your right shoulder also arcs upwards as it moves backwards. 
7. Feel your left shoulder arcing forward and under your chin area. 
8. As above, your arms must not move out of position to your body to assist the turn movement. 
9. You must feel the weight of your body about half way between your right hip joint and your tailbone.

Note that my hands have a golf club pressed to my shoulders. 
 
Note: Future articles, my lesson modules, and my video analysis service will contain more instructions with pictures and videos to teach you in detail how to do this takeaway turn. 
 
Summary 
 
Remember, the more movements you use or allow in your takeaway movement then the more problems you will have trying to make all these movements work together. You can do this. But, you will have to practice more often. 
 
If you can learn to do the biggest part of your takeaway with one movement you make it easier to have a good golf swing with less practice.

Please keep in mind that the thoughts presented in this and other articles may or may not become part of your actual routine or phases of playing a golf shot. These thoughts are given in separate articles to alert you about how body movement (or lack of it) plays a role in your golf swing. You should read the articles to develop background awareness for when you follow the instructions in my instructional modules. 
 
These articles will allow me to present the lessons in short step-by-step instructions. You will already have the background information to know that the steps have a purpose in your golf swing. You will not be distracted by detailed explanations of each step. 
 
These articles are freely given to you. In that light and considering I am in my later years the instructional modules are low cost to make them affordable for everyone.
