Put a quarter on the floor.

Stand in a textbook 'ready' position (knees slightly bent, shoulders over toes, arms hanging). Your standard golf swing setup should also do (and should look awfully close to a classic athletic 'ready' position).

Grab a club. Set it down so that the toe sits on the quarter (properly grounded club). Hold the club so that the head stays put, and you get into your ready position.

Can't get 'ready' without picking the club up? The club is too short. Can't get 'ready' without moving your hands way down the club? The club is too long.

For a too short club, get a friend to measure the distance between the sole at the heel and the ground. Add 1/4" (for good measure), and build to that length.

For a too long club, use a marker or a piece of tape to mark where the club exits the top of your hands. Cut it down to the mark +1/4".

A new highlight: Golfing the home course on Christmas Day.

I say it too often: If it's golf club shaped, you can play with it.

For the record, I'm a club doctor, not a swing doctor.
