Golf - instruction - Ball Position

This is a great video to watch to understand about the ball position. Simplifies and explain how to place the ball in your stance. Clarify the two schools of thought. The thing about golf is that after a while you tend to forget your fundamentals. The setup in golf is the most important part of the swing, because with a bad setup you have to compensate to bring the golf club back in plane to the impact point.This causes errors in direction and also results in the inability to lag the club.So this is a fundamental aspect of the game.

One more thing to note when watching the video. That is you should note the position of the hand, just left of the zipper, stays the same throughout the various width of stance. And this controls the amount of 'forward press' or 'openness'.

Don't bother to read the comments on Youtube about the video. Haters gonna hate.
