Build a repeatable pre-shot routine sequence

The instructor walks a student through her pre-shot routine as a repeatable sequence. Stand with your eyes directly over the ball and take a practice swing, feeling the shot the way you're going to hit it, then pick an intermediate target. Go into the ball and set the clubface first, look at the target one more time, then draw a line back to the ball and start your takeaway once that line reaches the ball.
