Setup Routine Issue?
 

My practice sessions are improving dramatically since my lesson with Yoda a few months ago. I can stripe balls time after time in succession. If the practice range were a competition, I would likely play it scratch or better.
But it's still challenging making the transition to playing. I find myself missing a shot, then immediately knowing why I missed it, sometimes before I complete the swing. I make the correction and the next several shots are great, then something creeps back in and another miss....reset...correct...then repeat.

I have to admit, my setup routine sometimes varies from shot to shot and I don't have a routine from the time I take my club out of the bag until I complete the shot.

Bagger,

One thing Yoda stressed with me is to use the same set-up routine for every shot - on the range and on the course. It is one part of your golf swing that takes no coordination or any physical skills, in my opinion. It's one of those things you can get right 100% of the time.

So why not get it right every time?

Saying Goodbye To The 'Other Guy'
 

Ever wonder why that 'other guy' always does so much better?

I'm talking about your alter ego who inhabits the same physique but who hits 'second' after your first ball has sailed OB or PL (Probably Lost) or that three-footer didn't touch the hole. It's because, per 3-F-5, "most misshots are lost at Address -- by not mentally spelling out exactly the selected Stroke Variations and their technique and Feel."

The Address Routine of 3-F-5 is a Three-Step Failsafe Procedure that enables you to hit your 'second' shot first! Master each Step -- Practice Stroke, Waggle and Forward Press -- independently and then integrate the entire procedure into your Game.

Do that and the 'other guy' will soon find himself looking for work!
