<p><span style="color:#000000">Meredith:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Today we&#39;re going to work on a pre-shot routine. Now a pre-shot routine is so important when you&#39;re out there on the course. You want to make sure that each and every shot you have the same routine, you&#39;re doing the same thing. Because that builds consistency. It&#39;s like any other routine that we have in life. Routine is a good thing. We&#39;re going to work on a pre-shot routine for you today if you don&#39;t already have one.</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#000000">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Now pre-shot routines, they vary. Everybody&#39;s a little bit different and everybody likes to do different things once they get behind the ball at address. But if you don&#39;t have a routine, I&#39;m going to give you a just a basic outline of one that&#39;s really going to help your game.</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#000000">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The first step is you&#39;re going to pick a target. Now I&#39;m looking down the range right here and I&#39;m going to hit a nice straight shot. I have my target. I&#39;m behind the ball. I pick something out in front of the ball, could be six to 12 inches in front of the ball, that&#39;s in the direct line on the path that I want to hit the ball. Then I take a look at my target and I imagine the ball actually going to the target. It&#39;s like a little moment of intention that I have with that shot. I just plug it in my mind as I&#39;m picking out that place in front of the ball. That&#39;s step one.</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#000000">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Step two is you&#39;re going to go ahead and step behind the ball now. We&#39;re here. What I do is once I get behind the ball, I find that little piece of grass or that blade of grass that&#39;s in front of the ball that&#39;s in my target line, and I make sure I connect to that spot. What I do is with my feet together, the ball&#39;s in the center. This is with an iron. I&#39;m going to square the club face. This is so important, making sure that you&#39;re actually squaring the club face. You want to square up to the ball. My body alignment is nice and square to my target.</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#000000">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The third step is I&#39;m going to take a small step to the left and right or right to left, whatever you&#39;re comfortable with. I look at my feet when I make that step. Because when I look at my feet, I&#39;m making sure that my feet, my knees, and my hips are also aligned to the target and everything is running parallel with the target line. That&#39;s the third step.</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#000000">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The fourth step is, now that we have everything square, we have our target, I want you to go ahead and grip the club. At this point, when you grip the club, sometimes I get a little bit comfortable, I move around, I check my balance. It&#39;s like my little wiggle moment. Get comfortable. Then at this point I look down the line, I reconnect with my intended shot. Then lastly, I relax the shoulders. Sometimes I can move them around a little bit, bring them down. When you bring your shoulders down, it really helps to relax you. Then a nice easy grip pressure. Then you just give it a nice easy swing, just like that.</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#000000">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That is a simple outline for a pre-shot routine. Again, you can modify it to what you&#39;re comfortable with, but this is a really good start to help give you a routine that you can use and implement when you&#39;re out on the course.&nbsp;</span></p>
