Step #4 We are now going to make our practice swing. This can be done either while you are still behind ball, or you can step up beside ball. The idea at this moment is to practice and feel swing you want to make. If you envision a high cut shot, then practice a high cut swing. If you see a low punch, then practice a punch swing. This helps your body do what your mind sees.

Step #5 Finally we are going to address ball. This meaning that we are going to step up to ball and get ready to hit shot. This is important because you must be totally committed to your shot by now. You can do whatever you want to make yourself comfortable. Some people waggle club, bounce with their knees, or take a deep breath. Do whatever works for you. Put club on ground, line it up with your target, and get ready to pull trigger.

Well, there you have it, “The 5 ‘Keys’ to a Highly Effective golf pre shot routine you can learn immediately”.

The best way to learn it is to use it next time you play. Make a concise effort to do steps outlined above and you will see how quickly it becomes a habit.

Sam battled cancer hard. He once gave a news conference day after a round of chemotherapy before Super Bowl. As he balanced himself on podium, he said, "You have your good days and your bad days. I am just glad I am having days, you know?"

**From someone who witnessed Sam Mills' courage**

"I met Mr. Mills as we were both receiving chemotherapy last year at CHOA. I specifically remember him speaking to a young man who was also receiving chemo and was so impressed with his attitude toward young man. I had no idea he wasn't doing well. He was an extremely kind person and meeting him under horrific circumstances is definitely 'bitter-sweet.' " Cindy Helder

Although his football nickname was "Field Mouse", Sam was a giant at heart. Everyone was someone to Sam Mills.

**From a friend of Sam Mills**

"Sam, you always called me by name. You told me I wasn't just a fan but a friend that meant so much. Thanks for friendship, smiles, encouragement. Because of you I will "Keep Pounding". We miss you." Flight Attendant/Golf caddy Jacque' kendall

Personally, I came to know Sam Mills when I watched him, at least twice a year, play against my beloved San Francisco 49ers.

Even though he was on 'other team', I marveled at his leadership and courage on field. I admit---I secretly wished "we" had him on "our" team.

Rest in Peace #51
