One Minute Golf Tips

More on Address or Setup.

STANCE Feet under your armpits or for your driver as wide as just outside your shoulders. The longer the club the wider the stance or the bigger the pedistle. Feel balanced. SWING IN BALANCE.

BRACE FOOT (that's the push foot). Squarish to the target line which is the straight line centre ball to centre of the cup.

TARGET FOOT (that's the one closest to the flag). Point it about 20% to 25% 'PINNISH'. This will let you open the swinging door easily toward the pin and finish fully tall in comfort.

Seniors and golfers with articulation (joint) problems might even turn more to reduce or eliminate what we in the teaching profession call a 'FOOT BLOCK', so much tightness in the hip, knee and ankle that you cannot turn all the way to the target and FINISH. What are talking about? Here is one of our very fundamental 3 C's... COMFORT! If it does not feel comfortable in GOLF, it is likely NOT CORRECT.

ALIGNMENT I am a foot fettish and you would be well-served to pay attention to your feet. They are the FOUNDATION of your good swing. The line through your toes (brace foot to target foot) should point down the middle of the fairway to the pin. AIM YOUR GUNSIGHT to the QUARTER. There are some foot variations but this is a safe rule.

AIM YOUR FEET in balance and comfort. It will work.
