Proper golf alignment is one of the keys to a better golf swing.

Golf Alignment:

Proper golf alignment is one of the keys to a better golf swing. If you're not properly aligned to your target, chances are the results of your shots will be off line. Let's look at how to line-up properly!

Make sure your club is pointing toward your target. (Use the two vertical lines on the club head to point toward your target)

Railroad Tracks:

One way of checking your alignment is to imagine a line going from your club head to your target and another line running parallel to that line representing your feet position, similar to a railroad track.

Aligne your club towards the target by aiming the vertical lines on the club face parallel to an intermediate object a few feet from your club which is in line with the target. This can be a twig, a blade of grass or a divot etc.

Checking your alignment:

1. Place your feet in a position you feel is parallel to the target line then...

2- Place another club on the ground touching the toes of both feet.

3- Step back and look where the club is pointing. If the club is pointing parallel to your target line, you are properly aligned, otherwise make the necessary adjustment.

4- If your shots are offline, your fist step in correcting the problem is to verify your alignment as indicated above!
