Practicing question

A thing that I've always been confused about. For an alignment aid, I should align the club to the LEFT of my target, so that it is parallel, correct? How should I align my mat to the target?

i for one have no clue what your talking about? your club face should be 90* perpendicular to your target line, so the face of your club should be facing your target, not to the left of it.. and when you say align your mat, i dont know what you mean by that? if you mean your hitting mat, align how ever you want or however helps you.

I think what you are saying is that you use your club as an alignment aid and the club on the ground is parallal with the target with your club face perpendicular to the target.

I also know what you mean about the practice mat, if you can move them, I would align the mats also otherwise keep them in their position.

work on the shot within 100 yards and improve your up and down.

When I use an alignment aid, I just point it at the target. Look at it this way.... put two clubs down parallel to each other. One is the ball, the other is on the feet line. Those clubs are maybe two feet apart..?? Extend that out to 150 yards. If you just put one club down and you want it parallel to the target, do you think you can put it two feet from the actual target? of course not. If you put it so it looks parallel to the target, I bet you would be many yard off actual parallel. So just point the club at the target, and if you hit it two feet right of it, don't worry about it.

What he said. If you put a club or pole or some other alignment aid down where the ball would be you need that point directly at the target. Then just set the one at your feet parallel to that one. If you extend those two line all the way to the target one ends up at the hole or whatever you target is and the other just inside that line and parallel. If you run those two lines out visually though they are going to seem to converge when you get a certain distance out.

along with your alignment aid make sure you work your pre-shot routine on every shot.
