Set up your shots correctly



Find out about the ball position

For most medium range shots the ball should be in the middle of your stance.

And as a general rule of thumb, longer shots such as drives and low irons are played nearer the front foot.

Whereas the shorter clubs, such as wedges and high irons, are played nearer the back foot.

The best thing to do is experiment to see what suits you.

You should also try to remember to strike the ball at the bottom of your swing.
