Just a side note. I think you will find that quite a lot of good golfers from years gone by adopted this, “come from the side” approach. There are many YouTube videos out there of old championships which highlight this style.
I gave it a go and quite liked it. It was something about looking at my target from a different angle that I enjoyed. The real change was the walk to the ball. My eyes were not glancing up at my target, looking sideways at hazards or trying to find a spot in front of the ball to line up with. I felt like there was no second guessing and it was as though I was just walking up to a rock(as you’d say cam) and giving it a whack. Will definatly keep giving it a go and see where it leads.
Lukey, type RAY into the search box on the web page and then scroll down to the second page of results. There will be a blog titled AUTOMATIC GOLF ( CASE STUDY). There is a video of a golfer with a preshot routine in which he starts by standing off to the side of the ball. Hope this helps.

June 8, 2013Cam are you saying you stand to the side behind the ball or is it different to that ?
