Eliminate golf inconsistency with these 3 steps

PGA instructor Todd Graves outlines a simple three-step pre-shot routine designed to eliminate inconsistency and improve ball striking. By establishing a repeatable process from behind the ball to the final address, golfers can ensure their alignment and ball position are perfect for every shot.

• Stand behind the ball to pick a clear target line and an intermediate target spot.
• Align the clubface to your intermediate spot before setting your body.
• Standardize your ball position and stance width to ensure consistent launch conditions.
• Get comfortable and trust the routine rather than overthinking the swing mechanics.
