So as your eyes are looking at the target I want you to come in and you're going set up with your feet together or your right foot in there you're going aim the club face and then after I've aimed my club face while I'm looking up at the target I'm going set my feet, take my waggles and I'm going pull the trigger and go. I promise if you can get into habit of looking at the target when you walk in to your shot and looking at the target when you set your feet and your body, it's going help you get set up and more consistently and it's going get you thinking about the shot, seeing the shot and feeling the shot some of the most important keys in playing the game of golf. I hope you enjoyed this little extra tidbit, this little special video to take it to the next level bye
Hey guys Josh McCumber here and I want to come to you and talk about walking into the golf ball one of the most important things in the golf pre-shot routine that does not get discussed very much so next time you're out playing on the golf course I want you to think about how you walk into the golf ball. Do you just walk in from the side take a couple practice swings and whack it or do you come stand behind the ball, look at your target picture your shot and try to figure out what you're going to do with your golf shot. Are you just thinking about your golf swing and what your teacher told you or what you maybe read in a magazine? So next time you go out to the golf course, I want you to really think about the golf ball, where you're standing behind the ball and your target. We want to be target and conscious and target focus so it starts from behind the golf ball. I want you to stand behind the golf ball it can be three paces four paces think about that when you do that what feels most comfortable to you and replicate that every time. It's gonna take a little practice but I want you to stand directly behind the golf ball and the target. I learned this from my uncle Mark McCumber and he learned it from the late, great Bert Yancey who is the master at the golf pre shot routine. Stand directly behind the ball, see the ball, see your target, picture your shot. Then you're going to walk into the golf shot with your eyes up looking at the target. That's very very important, to walk into the shot with your eyes up looking at the target, then set your feet looking at the target with your eyes up, if you can do that I promise that's going to help you lower scores and you're going to get out of your golf swing and you're gonna think about playing golf. I hope you enjoyed this video, let me know if you have any questions remember to subscribe to my YouTube channel and we'll see you next time.
