well, if they can do it, why can't we, wondering what everyone does for their preshot routine we'll say when you're teeing one up with the driver or whatever you use to tee off

i finally came up with one i liked today and will stick with it to the end

1) tee the ball up, wherever looks good, or offers a better angle to the fairway
2) grip the club, left thumb at 1 o clock right thumb at 12 o clock, (thanks guys from my grip thread)
3) line up my target with the ball using the shaft and pick out a spot several feet from the ball in line with the target
4) walk over to address the ball, but pause to confirm that i'm parallel to my target line
5) address the ball (been hitting off the toe lately so i line up off the heel) make sure everything is square and feels good
6) set hands ahead of the ball
7) happy thoughts and rip away

Mine is similar...

Pick out the smallest target I can in the distance and concentrate on it.
(I place my right thumb at 11 o clock).
