ALIGNMENT is the key to hitting great golf shots

Most golfers don’t think or work very much on alignment, but some were around 95 percent of shots that are hit off line are caused by miss-aliment. You can put your best swing on the ball and miss your shot by 10 or even 20 yards all because of alignment. Most tee boxes are not setup in line with the center of the fairways so if your aligning your self up with the tee box stop. The great players that I’ve spoke with over the years all talk about setup and alignment. So if you don’t aim your club face properly and your body along that same line as the club face, you will have very little chance of pull of the shot. The aliment and setup drills in my video and on this page will give you the basic fundamentals, so if you work on the correct setup and alignment dills first, your golf swing will develop a lot faster.

Next time your playing a round of golf here are two great tips for lowering your score.

1. Using your golf club for alignment, this drill can be used on or off the golf course and is perfectly legal. Take your address position and with out moving your shoulders, hips, legs or feet, put the club horizontally across your thighs. Now look were the club is pointing if your aligned parallel to the target line, the club should be pointing a little left of the target for right handed players and right of the target for left handed players. If you repeat this drill regularly you will automatically align yourself correctly on the course.

2. The pointing drill is a very quick alignment check on the course, take your address position remove your target hand left for right handed players and point to the target, you should be pointing 10 yards left of the target if your alignment is correct. So if your to far left of the target your open to the target line and you will most likely slice the ball if your aligned to far right of the target your closed and will most likely hook the ball. so you can see that alignment is very important to the game of golf and lowering your scores.

Don’t rush out to the practice range and start hitting balls with out a plan in mind, practice with a purpose.
