Hi Jason,

Thanks for your comment and I will be glad to help you with your alignment.

In my mind your set up and alignment is commonly overlooked. Improving your alignment can go a long way in improving your accuracy and most importantly your scores!!!.

Jason if you do not have a pre shot routine I would suggest starting with that and putting alignment at the forefront. Focus on standing behind the ball during every shot and picking out your target. Align your clubface first, then set your body parallel to that.

The easiest way to explain good alignment will be to think about a railroad track. Your body is on the inside rail and the ball is on the outside rail aiming at the target.

The best tip I can give you would be to practice your alignment on the ranch. Use two irons and lay them both on the ground. Aim the first club at the target and place the second parallel to you target.

Always aim your clubface first and step in and build your stance parallel to the line from the clubface to the target

Practice you alignment on the ranch and when you are on the course get a friend to stand behind you and help you align correctly.

Stick To That Pre Shot Routine Jason!!

Hope this helps,

Eric

Hi Cory,

Thank you for your comment!!

You should always start your round with a plan, just as you should always start each shot with a plan and a target. While you are on the driving ranch you need to evaluate your strengths and figure out what your weaknesses are, and bring that knowledge on to the golf course.

Every golf course is different! and everyday of golf is different!! You need to analyze the weather, wind, slop hazards etc.

When you are analyzing your shot you need to always hit the shot you KNOW you can hit rather than a shot you are hoping to hit.

A good way to improve your course management is to track your statistics. If you find you are doing poorly on par 5’s try laying up next time.

Here are the tips I have for good course management:

* Start your round with a plan
* Start each shot with a plan and a target
* Evaluate your strengths and your weaknesses
* Analyze your surroundings
* Hit the shot you KNOW you can hit
* Track your statistics

Hope this helps Cory
