It starts with the grip.   You should hold the club lightly enough so that someone can gradually pull it from your grasp.   Your upper body must also remain relaxed.   Prior to your shot,  inhale deeply, taking four or five deep breaths to relax your upper body.   To relax your legs try bouncing slightly up and down by flexing your knees.   This will keep them relaxed and useful during the swing.   For maximum swing results you must remain relaxed over the ball and during your swing at all times.
