So now we have established how important it is to have a good target and a good target line. Lets go through a process that will help you aim at the thing more often than not on the golf course, and I think one area where golf is probably missed out on lack a little bit here is they don't have a process or routine that they can repeat. So a little bit random sometimes they get it right sometimes they get it wrong but I like to go through this process with me each time you play shots. So my target my target line is going to be the red flag out here on the green in front of me. Now at the start most of my routines actually back here behind the ball and I stand behind the ball looking down my intended target what I'm trying to do here is come 1st in that firstly that's where I should be aiming there's not too much danger not too many hazards and I'm happy that in that position. I'm also probably assessing the slope of the ground the wind how much that's going to affect things once I've decided what is definitely my target and my target line and then pick out an intermediate point in front of me a blade of grass or a lethal something in this area here and it's around about the head. That I've been looking and on this occasion I'm going to market with a golf ball so that we can all see on the camera that's my intended target line.
Now understanding that when you're actually out playing on the golf course you're not allowed to put anything on the ground you're not allowed to mark anything with your club or with your feet. So to aim over something it has to be something that's preexisting something that's already on the ground then you can go ahead and line up over the top of it. So I let my club sit behind the ball I position my feet and actually my focus now is my intermediate points not my ultimate point aiming something that's 200 yards away 300 yards away can be quite awkward to do. Turning my head to my body but if I aim at something that's just a yard ahead of me the length of the club here it's actually a lot easier to line the club up align the feet up I can even check using my shaft that everything points in the right direction and that we adjust my swing I can still focused on the object at the front I can make my back swing my downswing. I can hit my ball over the top of the object ball in front of me on the target in front of me and hopefully that will produce shots that go straight towards the ultimate target and ultimate target line which was the red flag down there. That is the important thing like to suggest there is that's a routine that happens the same every single time each time stand behind pick my ball pick my target pick my intermediate spot. The club goes down everything lined up and away we go hitting straight over the top utilize that technique to improve your aim and improve your targets.
