How to Get Lined Up Correctly

When you are on the range and see other players using alignment rods have you ever wondered how to use them? Trillium Rose shows you how to get set up so that your shots are on target.

Your Keys for Aiming

Use alignment rods when you practice, both full swing and in the short game.
Lay one stick on the ground ahead of your ball, in line with your target.
Set a second alignment rod down, parallel to the first and close to your feet, so you can align your feet and body sqaure to the taget.

As you practice with your alignment rods, get used to spotting something – a blade of grass that stands out or a leaf or pebble – just ahead of your ball and on your target line. Align your clubface to that spot and then get into your stance. This will serve you well, whether you’re playing in a tournament or in your Sunday foursome.
