90% Of Golfers Make This One Mistake Before They Swing The Club
PGA Professional Georgia Ball addresses common pre-swing mistakes that derail consistency before the club even moves. She demonstrates a simple toes-together setup drill to establish proper distance from the ball and outlines a 30-second pre-shot alignment routine.
Check your distance from the ball: hands hanging straight down from shoulders indicate correct posture and setup distance.
Use the toes-together drill by bending from the hips until the club sits flat on the turf to naturally set correct posture.
Pick an immediate target (e.g., a blade of grass) a few inches in front of the ball on line with your main distant target.
Set the clubface square to the immediate target first before aligning your feet and shoulders parallel to the target line.
Ensure hands have a slight forward press at address to encourage crisp contact and proper divots.
