A)  Set up square to the target.  Shoulders, hips knees and feet should be square to the target line.  B)  Grip the club light enough so someone can pull the club from your hands with very little effort.  C)  Strengthen your grip, turn both hands away from the target when gripping the club (”V”s point towards rear shoulder).  D)  Keep hands ahead of the ball at address.  At address, there should be a striaght line between the clubface and the lead shoulder.  E)  Keep head behind the ball at address.  F)  Start the club back with your shoulders (one-piece takeaway).  G  Maintain a solid back leg during the backswing.
