Never fear your shots, regardless of who is watching. Follow these principles:

• Take a deep breath and relax - eliminate tension
• Swing with good speed, tempo, and rhythm
• Never rush a shot - life is too short
• Remember: all common problems stem from not staying with fundamentals

The general principle is: Swing as if your right foot is nailed to the ground until follow through. Ensure good follow through and imagine the ball lies where you need it.

Different clubs and situations require different foot spacing, which is naturally adjusted based on the stance types and specific shot instructions throughout this guide.
