When we take players on the golf course what we find is that the single worst thing that students do is aim. What I want to do is give you a procedure to get you aimed properly the first time, every time. As you start from behind the ball and walk into the ball, I want your eyes to draw the target line from the target back to the ball. As I look at the target I can still see the ball in my peripheral vision. I then draw the line from the target back to the ball and I can use an intermediate target to help me. I then aim my clubface down the intended line, keep my eyes on the target, set my feet and now I should be ready to make my swing. So follow this procedure, aiming with your eyes, and you are going to hit more shots on line.
