December 12, 2003, Newsletter Issue #93: Your Alignment and Stance

Tip of the Week

Aim clubface first. Then align your body.

At address, your hands should be about four inches from your thighs.

Keep your head up.

Bend forward from the hips about 33 degrees and tilt body toward right at address.

Let your arms hang naturally.

Elbows should be bent slightly inward at address.

Keep your chin up. Maintain minimal knee bend.

Keep right knee flexed and stable. Don’t let it slide or straighten throughout swing.

For drives, set up with 80% of weight on right foot.

Make sure the ball is not too far forward. For drives, it should be at a point below left shoulder.

Position ball under the logo on your shirt.

Play ball far enough away from body to get full extension.

The longer the club, the more the left foot should be flared out – from perpendicular for short irons to 45 degrees for the driver.

Good Golfing
