When Setting Up

one should be very ‘Golf Ball Oriented’

You will be familiar with our world-known ‘5 Set-Ups’ … Posture, Grip, Stance, Ball Location and Alignment. (PGSBA) Number four on the list is, of course, ‘Ball Location’.

One must strike a golf ball on the ‘Sweet Spot’ (COM – Center Of Clubhead Mass). You will also know about our marking of the ball with a ‘Target Line and Red Dot’. (see Bottom Inside Cheek – BIC) Quality golf is very ‘Linear’. Sloppy strikes produce poor quality results. You shall struggle accomplishing ‘A To B Ball Flights’ and will be punished by poor score cards! You have to accomplish low scores ‘The Old-Fashioned Way’ … You Must Earn Them!

To ensure efficient performance, one would be well-advised to diligently dedicate to our ‘Short Game, 8 Step Putting and Chipping Pre-Shot Routine’. (PSR) This valuable asset is readily available on your carefully created 555 Golf Website. (www.555golf.com) If you struggle to locate this ‘8 Step PSR’ file, send your ‘555 Team’ an e-mail and we shall help you out with a copy directly to your computer ‘In Box’.

Key Point: Very early in your ‘PSR’, make sure you establish a really functional ‘Spinal Column or ‘Pivot Axis. (Core – Forward Inclination and Aft Tilt).

Also, do not overlook efficient ‘Brace & Target Lever Extension’. You must strike the golf ball with generous ‘Extension’. Remember, your ball is always at BOSA … ‘Bottom Of Swing Arc’. Start there! Complete your ‘Back & Up Swing’! Get back to BOSA! Remember that normal divots are slightly in front of the golf ball and NOT behind!

To be a happy golfer, one must methodically develop and use a disciplined ‘Pre-Shot Routine’ and sound mechanics.
