The 1st thing we're going to do is we take a club and we put it in line with our target. So this club represents where the ball is sitting and have the ball is magical to sit on top of that line it would intersect this red pen where I'm lining up. We're going to take another club and we're going to put it parallel left of my target line which is my body line so what we're going to see is that my ball would rest right here and that would go through the red pin. My body is parallel after that so my body is probably going at the yellow pin just a fraction left of the red pin. So now I can go ahead make my normal golf swing and the ball can start on line with the red pin so that's how you build a practice station but sometimes there's one other element that gets people in trouble and that's your ball position.

So let me add one other club to it. What we're going to do is put a club down here which is going to be perpendicular to your target line as well as your body line now when I set up I have all the alignment that I need to see where my body and my ball and my ball position are going. So from here if I set up in this particular manner and I make my normal swing provided I line everything up correctly I'm poised and ready to make my swing down the line and find the ball where I want. So remember build a practice station your target line where the ball is going to go your body aligned your body's parallel left that like your train tracks your ball position line which is perpendicular to both and that particular setup will help you to understand how to control your body out here on the practice tee. If you can learn how to get lined up out here you have the correct visualization of what you're trying to see when you get on the golf course and if you can do that you won't be lined up all fouled up out there give it a whirl.
