PLAYer Yardage Book: Lesson 3 - Responsibility Being Responsible means it's all up to you -- You are the one who will make it happen.  In the context of golf, this means taking care of the course and property that belongs to other people.  We can show Responsibility by picking up loose trash, filling in divots with sand, repairing ball marks, and being sure not to damage the course without cause. At home, Responsibility is shown by cleaning your room, doing the dishes, feeding the pets, and doing other chores without being asked by your parents.

You can also show responsibility at school by paying attention in class, doing your homework every night, and studying for tests.  Showing Responsibility wherever possible will help to earn the Respect of others.

PLAYer Fundamentals: Setup Your setup often determines the outcome of your shot.  One of the biggest factors is your posture, which will impact the angle that your club descends to the ball. A textbook posture will be approximately 90 degrees perpendicular to the club.  A wedge will require the lowest posture because it has the highest angle of any club in your bag.  Naturally, the driver will require the most upright posture, though you will still have a significant bend at the waist.

When you setup correctly, you will feel the weight on the balls of your feet, and your hands will hang directly below your shoulders.  One key to hitting great shots is to keep this posture throughout your swing. Practice this setup each time you play and you will hit better shots more consistently.
