Similarly when you play your second shot, from point B to point C, you will be sizing up the requirements as you walk up to the ball from directly behind.  Again pick an object beyond the green and concentrate on hitting the ball on a line towards that object with the club of the strength needed to drop your ball on the green.

  I emphasize the need to concentrate on a distant landmark for full shots because of the danger of last moment fears breaking into the concentration.  To make more certain of avoiding a bunker close to the spot on the fairway (in the case of the drive) and set into the green (in the case of the second shot) a subconscious alteration in the stance just before commencing the swing is liable to occur, enough in itself to send the ball off-line even if the swing remains undisturbed.

  When you have decided on the shot you wish to play this is how you should go about the business of setting yourself up to play that shot.

  Note what the first-class player does.  He takes the club from his caddie, moulds his hands on the grip to induce the initial feel of the club head and squares up the face to the grip before he addresses the ball.  Only then does he sole the club behind the ball with grip and club-face still, of course, square to the intended line of flight.

  The positioning of the feet, the actual taking up of the stance, comes last in this brief order of procedure in preparation for the playing of the stroke.
