Check Your Aim with this Quick Alignment Tip

If you have a hard time lining yourself up, try this quick alignment check from LPGA Professional Instructor Karen Palacios Jansen to make sure that you are aimed at the target.

Improve Your Aim with this Quick Alignment Check

Aim down your target line.
In your set up position, stay in your posture and simply point your front arm out as shown.
Your front arm should point parallel to your target line, not at your target.
If it is pointing directly at your target or any other direction except for parallel to the target line, then you need to adjust your set up until you are aligned correctly.
