All logos hidden. Pick a target POINT on the horizon, align that with a blade of grass a couple of inches infront of the ball. Swing down the line.

I put a Sharpie mark on the ball somewhere around the ball logo so I will just align the ball so I don't hit my mark and wear it off. I do try and change where the club will impact the ball so I am not hitting the same spot every time. Other than not hitting my mark I have no preference as to how the ball sits on the tee.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

i dont care much about the logos lol, but if any grass or stick or leaf is in my field of view while lookign down at the ball, it has to go, it becomes a focal point to me instead of the ball and it bothers me lol

and as far as how i address the club to the ball, i took masking tape and put it on my cluba nd noticed i was hitting it close to the outside of the club so i line the club up to the ball at the heel of the club, which for some reason helps me hit it close to center

On the tee, I use the ball's type logo (Tour iX print) to line up my shot. I find it helps a LOT setting my feet and getting my ball where I want it to go.

On the green, I don't use anything. I have the blank side of the ball facing me. I don't know how you guys that use the alignment line. When I have ever tried it in practice I find myself adjusting that line to the finest degree over and over and over again. That just takes too long. My playing partners would probably throw their putter at me if I used that method.

I use a sharpe with any color that I have and draw a line.

I also use this line to make a mark on the driver face to see where on the face I am making contact with the ball, incase I need to make any adjustments with my set up. I currently need to set up my ball near the heel of the driver to make solid contact.

I don't like to see anything but white when looking at the golf ball. I don't want lines, dots, logos or anything to to draw my attention away from my mental images on the shot I want to hit. I tee the ball right-side up and the arrow stamp on my Titleist facing forward so I can't see. Does that make me crazy?

My swing thoughts:

- Negative thinking hurts more than negative swinging.
- I let my swing balance me.
- Full extension back and through to the target. - I swing under not around my body. - My club must not twist in my swing. - Keep a soft left knee
