Is this a good method for getting a good bend at setup ? 

No. Not really.

Read that thread. Compare and contrast…

It seems to me like the video agrees with that thread, at least as far as how your posture ends up. I think she's advocating starting out with the incorrect posture so you can move away from it into good posture. What am I missing? Just that the first part is unnecessary? Or is she not advocating enough posterior tilt?

She's advocating for a "straight back" among other smaller things (chin up?).

Yes, it doesn't make any sense. Just do it right when you address the ball. The more adjustments you add the more complicated it makes things.

Using the initial tilt is fine to determine a "neutral spine angle." I would not straighten the back to flat to swing but find the middle of the tilt and flat back and stay there.

Thanks.  I found it interesting because I've had to remind myself to "activate" my core stomach muscles at address in the past. I have a long torso which, combined with a core that is not as strong as it should be, has led to lower back issues.  Sometimes my back muscles take over when they shouldn't  (not just in golf). This sounded like a potential checkpoint but if it doesn't make sense I won't do it.

      I'm good with the bunkers, and the fairways are SUPER wide. Three yards should stop a ball that isn't landing in it from rolling into the hay.

      I'm a little behind, but I just finished listening to the episode about practicing while on vacation.  I have two vacations coming up this month that I won't be bringing golf clubs with me on, and this was perfectly timed (I'm sure I am not the only one going on vacation in June).   Especially the part about stretching.  I keep putting off adding stretching, with golf in mind, to my daily routine.  I think I'm going to use these upcoming vacations, the first of which I'm flying off to on Thursday, as a way to get into this habit.   For anyone else interested, Fit For Golf (see sidebar) has fantastic stretching routines (some of which, I think, are on their free area).  I really should get back to doing their main exercises too.  I don't have any affiliation with them beyond "satisfied customer," in case that sounds like an ad. I may end up posting in the 5 minutes thread when I do golf stretches if it's my only practice that day... as if I don't already sound like a broken mp3 with my 10-15 minutes hitting indoors part. And back to the topic:  anyone not caught up on the podcast should consider catching up and listen to that episode, especially if you're going on a non-golf vacation this summer and want some practice ideas that aren't the at-home practice routine from LSW about long bunker shots (which I am sure we all do regularly).
