The mental check off list associated with the typical golf swing setup is far too long. Most amateurs worry about too many factors rather than following a few short steps. The following two easy steps will help you get in the proper golf swing setup each time you step up to the ball.
This setup routine can be broken down into smaller steps. But in essence it has two basic parts. Here are the steps for right-handed golfers.
One, step up to the ball with your weight on your right foot. And two, tilt your back shoulder down slightly.
Step 1: Take Your Stance By Leaning Forward On One Foot
After gripping the club, place it behind the ball. Next, place your right foot behind the ball and put all your weight on it. Your left foot lags behind and offers balance.
This position forces you into a comfortable distance from the ball. Too close and you feel the club pushing into your gut. Too far and you are reaching for the club.
Your Arms Should Hang Straight Down
