How Far to Stand from the Golf Ball (What Is the Exact Measurement?)

Wouldn’t the game of golf be so much easier if we had an exact measurement for things? How about an exact angle for knee bend, exact width for the stance, exact spine angle, etc?

Unfortunately, golf is not like that.

Understanding how far to stand from the golf ball will take a bit more of an explanation than a single measurement. I’ll show you why distance to the golf ball matters, what you can do to make sure you are standing the proper distance, and how far to stand from the golf ball.
