We all know how frustrating alignment can be you hit a golf shot you make a good swing and it goes straight into the woods and your friends say “Well you're aiming their.” Well of course most of us understand alignment that we're meant to be parallel so remember you're aiming the club toward your intended target then align your body parallel to that. We went to school we know what parallel means but many of us fall into the trap of letting our body aim right at the target so these lines converge. Many of us will fall into the trap as well that we had to start with good intention we aim the club we don't think we're aiming, and then we we shuffle round. So what I've done here is put a hoop on the floor it really represents a clock face and the ball here is at 12 o'clock 6 o'clock over here where you approach the golf ball and really affect your alignment.
When I'm walking in sometimes if I walk you know 6 and then step all of a sudden now my alignment is really right of the target. If you watched all professionals and notably people like Greg Norman in the past and so on you'd always see him walk in over here let's say call this 5 o'clock. Walk in at 5 then step into square so the angle you walk into the shot really can be turn and then whether once you've aimed the club you can step into position and now I can feel everything nice and parallel. If I get a wrong walking to straight then step look I'm aiming way right which means I learn to have to come over the top and correct a powerful swing down the line an my feet I'm going to push it so my alignment has already ruined the shot so walking it at 5 aiming club to the target then position you feet from here will find you consistently able to get much squarer to that shot.
