My Alignment Was TERRIBLE Until I Followed These SIMPLE STEPS

Thinking back to my days as a junior golfer, my alignment and aim was terrible, I was constantly being told that i was aiming well left of my target, but these simple steps changed all of that and now my alignment is perfect.

These 4 simple steps are guaranteed to get you aimed exactly where you think you are and in no time at all it will become second nature and you will be perfectly aligned for all of your shots.

If these simple steps could help me they can definitely help you get perfect alignment.

Such important information, Chris, thank you. My game had gone right 'off' recently with balls going way off both left and right. My husband stood behind me on the course for a few shots and told me I was aiming way right. I was positive I was aiming correctly, I was wrong. Fixed alignment, though my brain fought it for a while, and now much, much better shots at target.

fantastic lesson on alignment. Its so frustrating to hit the ball well, but land not in the place you were not aiming for. I like the detailed explanation Chris does. Puts a lot of science in how I can correct myself. Two thumbs up for this video

Chris, I believe this is the most challenging thing for us amateurs. Pros need to talk about this consistently to students and us amateurs need to listen and work on it constantly. Thank you so much!

I'm glad you mentioned shuffling your feet, as I fall into this trap 4 or 5 times a round, typically when I am trying to avoid a hazard on the right or left. Like you suggested in the video, I need to work on building my stance toward an intermediate target (away from the hazard), instead of trying to shuffle my feet. LOL - yesterday, I had a tee shot on a par 3 with a lake all along the right side. I shuffled my feet so much in fear of the lake, that my shot landed about 40 yards to the left of the flag.

[Gigity]

Good stuff. Wished I'd seen this before hitting my 2nd tee shot straight OB on Sunday though. My playing partner said "It went exactly where you were aiming, but I thought you knew what you were doing." 😆

[gretelroberts]

What a great video. After two years of playing, I have only just recognised I am closed to the target. I am also a shuffler! Thanks for the help.

[KumaM]

Great tips thank you! I’m terrible with alignment, never paid much attention to walk-in. Can’t wait to give these routines a try

[rockylincoln]

Brilliant video Chris, these simple and effective tips will improve my game as I have struggled with alignment, cheers!!

[kendog]

Thanks Chris for the clarity in your instructions. Definitely my biggest weakness is alignment. Head fighting body regularly. I will take your set up routine with me onto the course and practice this consistently. Keep up the good work.

[chuckpalmer]

I have been playing a long time and all of a sudden I found myself struggling with alignment. Must practice a routine and always be aware of aiming. I was taking my aim for granted and just thought I was aiming correctly. Great video thanks

[willemflach]

Just a superb video Chris. Makes the whole adage of “just step up and hit it” the worst piece of advice anyone could ever hear! Thanks again for your very professional teaching.

[eckathewrecka]

Well done Chris, your my go to golf coach :)

[marcusgeorge]

Thanks Chris. A fantastic tip(s). 👍😎🇦🇺

[TitleWaive]

Adding a tracer to your lessons would be great so we can see your shot to green. Always great videos!

[blueskiesgolf]

Thanks Chris! An intermediate target definitely helps mitigate my big misses. Would you suggest picking an intermediate target on wedge shots too?

[nelsonjames]

I believe you have just solved an issue that I have been struggling with for most of this season. It’s amazing how such simple things can play havoc with your game. Attention to detail is imperative. One can look from scratch to a fish out of water with bad ball position.
Thanks

Hi Chris,

Can you do a video on how you align yourself on uneven lies e.g, above your feet, below your feet and sidehill lies?

[nicorusso]

So helpful. Any tips for getting more yardage with my 7 iron?

[BenzeneHex]

My problem used to be closed now it's open. I hope this drill address that problem.

[lorenzoreese]

This was a very helpful video. However I have a question about “practice swings”. I was told to always take a practice swing before I shoot my actual shot but from time to time it throws off my alignment. What advice do you have about practice swing before a shot?
