A TIP FROM OUR GOLF PRO:
One of the more common mistakes golfers make is that they aren’t aligned properly to their intended target. They walk up to the ball and set up their feet, look at the target, waggle the club a few times and the very last thing they do is set the club behind the ball. That’s where it all goes wrong! When addressing the golf ball it is critically im-portant to line up your club face behind the ball prior to setting your feet. Below is a great pre shot routine to go through prior to making your golf swing to ensure you are accurately lined up to hit your next shot to
your intended target.
1) Stand directly behind your ball and draw an imaginary line from your target down to
the ball
2) Pick out a spot on the ground that’s roughly 1-3 feet in front of your ball that falls directly in line with that imaginary line you
just made
3) With one hand on the club, walk up and place your club face directly behind the ball and make sure it is squarely facing the spot
you just picked out on the ground
4) Take your grip
5) Set your feet shoulder width apparent
6) Double check your alignment one last
time
7) Swing away
Take the time to line up every shot just like this and you’ll start seeing improvements in
your golf game immediately!
