  • very simple but crucial tips Phil is giving here. All beginners should see this. Thank you.

  • Jack Nicklaus taught that you should play all shots just off the left heel. And that you should only change the width of the stance ....example with the wedge a narrow stance and as the club gets longer the stance widens...

see all

  • very useful tips!!!!!

  • how high should the ball be on the tee?

  • golf is not an easy sport like what i used to think. thanks for tips

  • This helped a ton.

  • Pat52007: Have you ever read Jack Nicklaus' Lesson Tee - the one that back in the 70s appeared in Golf Digest as a cartoon series? It was compiled into a book. While Nicklaus taught that the iron position was the same for him for all shots, he strongly recommended that an individual player find where he naturally contacted the ground, and play the ball there. For me, it is just slightly front of center. Best thing is to have a pro look at you to determine your best ball position.

  • Ball to left instep,good body posture and balance,medium tee height,smooth swing,3 wood,300yds,nice.but thats just me.

  • Thanks phil, helped alot........

  • Jack Nicklaus played ALL shots off his left heal. Jack said the only thing that should vary is the width of the stance and NOT ball position!! You all can do what you want but I trust Nicklaus!!

  • That's old school, new school is narrow stance for everthing except driver, chips, short shots near the green, widen the stance change the arc, less power, Look Vijay's swing and then look Tiger's or Sergio's. Old school, new school.
