Golf pros spend a lot of time working on their alignment and this seems an aspect of the game that amateurs tend to ignore. In this month’s golf tip, I stress the importance of working on your alignment every time you practice.

Simply place two golf clubs on the ground with the club nearest your feet pointing slightly left of the intended target. The second club must run parallel with the first and points directly at your target. Now simply align your feet, knees, hips and shoulders parallel to the first club and your clubface exactly perpendicular to the second club.

You are now perfectly aligned! Do this every time you hit balls at the range and you will find that proper alignment can cure most of the problematic areas in your game.

Happy golfing!
