Every good golfer is going to have a consistent pre shot routine, which is defined as being a series of moves that is capable of helping them to assume the proper address position and the right posture every single time they stand up to the ball. If you need any convincing regarding the importance of your address position, then you should absolutely study professionals in action to see how meticulous they are when it comes to this part of the game. They are quite well aware that no matter how well their gun is firing, it still needs to be pointing into the right direction if they want the bullet to hit its mark. It is absolutely essential that you develop your own unique set up routine, especially one that is based on the principles touched on here:

1 - First and foremost you should be standing behind the ball, and you should be visualizing the exact shot that you are looking to hit. This is going to help you focus your mind on the actual task at hand while you are fixing the target line inside your head.

2 - Now what you are going to want to do is to align your clubface so that it is square to the target line. You can do this by identifying an intermediate level target that is just in front of you, such as for example an old divot mark that is in front of you, or a leaf on the ground. It is going to be much easier for you to air your club face at a closer target than to aim it at something that is more than 200 yards away.

3 - Now you are going to want to secure your hands in a comfortable manner on the grip, building your stance around your club face. Remember that you should be achieving good posture here, keeping your knees in a flexed position while you bend forward from your hips. You should be trying to get everything square to the club head's bottom edge. Perfect parallel alignment is important here. You should be remembering that your body alignment is going to determine along what path the club head swings, and this is vitally important to a good shot.

4 - Once you are set up, you are going to want to waggle your club head back and forth just a couple of times in order to ease the tension in your arms, your hands and your shoulders. This level of relaxation is going to promote the fluidity of your movement. If your posture is in good shape, then you are in good shape to swing properly away from the ball.
