Hi I'm Tom Stickney Golf Magazine Top 100 Instructor and today I want to talk to you about what I call final focus. You know a lot of times you come up to a shot and you've got the lie the yardage the slope the wind your adrenaline you've got the situation. So you have all these variables when you approach your golf ball and a lot of times what I find people doing is are standing up for the golf ball they're making their waggles instead of focusing in on one particular thing they're going well this is an uphill lie though the lie is a little tight and all the sudden I feel like you know in all this and there's a lot of thought going into it.

What I try to tell people to do is make all your decisions behind the golf ball make sure that when you get over the golf ball you only have one thought and that's the process of your routine and making sure that you focus in on your target. If you can do that what you're going to find is you're going to make a lot better golf swing because your mind is not preoccupied with a lot of things. So remember take the time make all your decisions behind the golf ball when you get over the golf ball think about the process of your routine and your target after that you can just say I hope it went well.
