It will take a lot of hard work to swing like a pro, but you can 100% set up to the ball as good as a tour player with a little practice.
In this video, I'm going to teach you how to set up consistently and accurately at your target. I'll show you what Tiger and Jack do to repeatedly aim their clubface and body for the shot they want to hit.
Your goal is to create a consistent process when you hit each shot. Watch the best player's in the world, and you'll see all kinds of swings getting the job done. One of the things they do have in common is they all create a consistent process for each shot.
They try to take the same number of steps into the ball and look at the target the same amount of times, it may vary from golfer to golfer, but the key is to keep it simple and consistent. They all start behind the ball and picture the shot they want to hit, walk into the ball, align their clubface and body lines accordingly, take the same number of looks at the target, stay present to their swing feeling(s), and then swing with the target in mind.
Learning to set up at an intermediate target can make it a lot easier to consistently aim your clubface and body lines for the shot that you created in your mind. It will also help you feel how to control your club path.
Hitting a good shot requires more than a good swing. Here are the keys to creating a consistent process that you can take from the range to the course.
It may sound long when you write it out, but with practice, the whole process should take less than 30 seconds. It's not fast, it's efficient, and it will help you quiet your mind when you're playing.
