ALIGNMENT

Like the railway track

Body and Target lines are parallel

Think of the alignment as a railroad track. The outer track is the target line or the clubface line. The inner track is your body line.

• Take your grip
• Place your clubhead perpendicular to your target
• Place both your feet together with your right toe pointing to the golf ball
• Spread your feet according to different clubs, ball between your toes for short irons, and all the way up on your left heel for driver.
• Make sure your toes, knees shoulders and head are parallel to the target line. Which means your body is aiming to the left of your target.

It is imperative to take dead aim. Poor alignment will cause uneccessary swing compensation. When you hit your shot off your target thinking you aimed properly, you start making adjustments in your swing to get the ball on line. Lay a club down close to your toes to ensure proper alignment when practicing, just make sure it's parallel to your target line.
