Phase 1 - Address the Ball

To begin our approach you must first grip the club.  Your thumbs should line up with the top of the club.

Keep your feet shoulder width apart.  The feet, the knees, the hips and the shoulders should in line with the target.   You should lean forward slightly from the waist, and have your knees slightly bent to allow flexibility. Your arms should hang comfortably in front of your body, to be able to swing more freely. The weight of the body should be on the balls of the feet. Both arms should be straight but relaxed.


Scientific Terminology


Stand at the anatomical position
To begin our approach you must first grip the club.
Adduct both sternoclavicular joints until your hands meet along the coronal plane around the anterior posterior axis.. Flex all fingers on both hands. Pronate hands 90 degrees. Adduct both hands towards your anterior until they meet.  
Stand above the ball with it directly in your median plane. Slide your body so the ball moves laterally to the inside of your front foot.
There should be slight flexion in the tibiofemoral joints.
