I Y L Golf Set Up and Swing Positions Drill — Roxanne Mitchell PGA/LPGA #golfswingdrills #golf101

PGA and LPGA instructor Roxanne Mitchell introduces the I Y L Golf Drill to teach foundational setup and swing mechanics. By breaking down posture, arm alignment, and backswing hinge into simple letter shapes, golfers learn to repeatable address positions and arm structure. This simple instructional method helps develop consistent ball striking.

• Establish posture with the 'I' shape by standing tall and hinging at the hips.
• Form the 'Y' shape at address with straight arms and club shaft aligned together.
• Hinge the wrists into an 'L' shape halfway through the backswing to create proper leverage.
