Pete Styles : Golf Set Up - Distance To The Ball

[donnachiebro]

great advice peter and very simply put cheers mate

I'm 5.8 and this works great.. Just started golfing and my hits were either landing too short (hitting the grass few inches behind the ball) or completely missing the ball.. I went out on the range yesterday, and had 18 consecutive proper hits by following this technique..

Thanks for the tip :-)

badgolfer997 why not? unless your clubs are are badly fitted this works for everybody even small junior players.

@pstyles48 My clubs have been cut fitted, and I doubled checked the length on the chart. When I setup like the above video as I always do it still sits higher than an inch or two above knee. Maybe I just have short legs and longer torso.

@badgolfer997 i'm glad your clubs are well fitted for you, when you set up the one inch position above the knee is designed to make sure you are standing the correct distance from the ball, so it sounds like you are too close currently, try moving further back until the club sits just above your knee, it will feel like you are stretching at first but works, trust me!!

Works for tall people. Does not work for a person like me who 5'7"
