First, when you have an awkward shot to make, try to picture the shot in your head before you setup. Picture you swing, the line your club will follow and envision the golf ball fly across the course.

Just before you set up, think about where your club head will need to hit in order for the golf ball to travel the greatest distance.

Take a few practice swings to help position your feet and determine your stance. You need to make sure that you can keep your balance during your golf swing. It is critical to keep yourself from swaying if you want to make that nice shot.

Find a comfortable position that will let your golf swing flow smoothly. You want your muscles and mind to both be relaxed. Make sure that you can keep your eyes focused on the golf ball through the duration of your golf swing.
