Inside the Heel

Problem

You cannot remember where to place the ball with most of the clubs in your bag.

Cure

When in doubt, set the ball inside of your forward heel. However, keep in mind that it is often better to have the ball too far back in your stance than having it too far forward.

Therapy

The biggest difference between most shots is how wide your stance needs to be. The ball position for does not really change very much between clubs; it only appears to change due to the placement of your trailing foot. So if you do not know where to place the ball, set it just inside of your leading foot and then step your trailing foot back into the proper width for your stance.
