I

t takes zero athletic

ability to set up to the

ball perfectly every time.

What it does take is knowing

the correct positions and having

the discipline to get them right.

Let’s start with the driver. Set the

clubface square behind the ball,

then take your stance so your feet

are wider than your shoulders

(right). Play the ball off your front

heel, with your weight 50-50.

Your head should be behind the

ball, and the shaft should be

neutral, not leaning forward or

back. Now, want a tip for extra

power? Flare out your back foot

for more turn on the backswing.

See the next page to learn how

to set up for irons and wedges.
