Lining up your shot...

For some reason my past few rounds I've been lining up all of my shots to the right. I noticed everything was going right, then I laid a club down at my feet after I set up my shot and took a step back and saw that everything was way right.

So my question is, what do you do to make sure you have the right line for your shot? I used to never line up that far right but the past few rounds something changed and now I am. And even when I approach the ball now and try to line up left its still right lol. I've never really had a set way of lining up besides looking where I wanted to go and addressing the ball. Any tips would be appreciated.

I personally use the method of standing behind the ball and looking for a small landmark 2-4 feet in front of the ball along my desired line.  It can be anything that you can see like a broken tee, discolored blade of grass, a weed, etc. to give short target to line up on.  I have a good friend that marks a straight line on his ball and puts in on the tee such that the line is in the direction of his intended target (like you see people do when putting).  Hope that helps.

Stand behind the ball and sight down your intended line.  Pick a spot on that line about 3-4 feet in front of the ball.  Keep your eye on that spot while taking your stance.  Set up with the clubface square to that line, so that the ball will pass over that spot when you hit it.  It's the best way I know of to get aimed where you want to be.

Thanks for the replies! I do that with my putts but never did that with my other shots, I'll give that a shot tomorrow and hopefully that will get my lined up better. I gave away an easy 6 shots the last 2 rounds each because I was hitting right, into a tree or a sand trap. Im usually good out of the sand trap but the last 2 rounds I have had a mental block and cant get out to save my life lol.

I flare my feet out also. Thanks for the great tip, on aligning the feet first, then flaring out. I'm gonna try that next round.
