Run a putting setup checklist before each stroke

A putting setup checklist the instructor has the golfer run through before each stroke: get your ball position right, rock your weight just a touch back into your heels, bend your knees slightly, extend the crown of your head away from your tailbone to free up your shoulders to rock, and make sure the face is squared at address. He frames it as a little checklist you can run through in your head.
