Golf Tip: 10 Steps to Avoid Disaster on the Tee Box

Now I have my driving line. It’s three feet long, starting with the back of my ball — the point of impact — and ending with that small irregularity I marked. All I have to do is line up the pieces along that line: my feet, my shoulders, and my club face.
I always start with my club face since its responsible for getting the job done. Then I check my feet. They need to be parallel to that line. Then my shoulders, which must also be parallel and positioned over my feet. If I get this right I feel balanced. If I don’t feel balanced and grounded, I’m not on line.
