If I select a target, take my stance, then check it by laying a club on the ground along the line of my toes, sometimes I will be aimed close to correct, but other times I will be pointing 15 or even 30 yards to the right.  I can't seem to figure out how to get myself lined up more consistently, without using some sort of prop.  Is this just a matter of tons of practice, and it will resolve itself over time, or are there any good drills I can use to help me develop a better sense of correct alignment?

What works for me is to stand behind the ball and pick my target line. I follow that target line all the way back to the ball. About 8-12 inches in front of the ball I will pick an "index" point. It could be a previous divot, leaf, etc. where I want the ball to fly over on once its been struck. I then make my address and align myself accordingly. It works well for me. It may help you.

    • I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning. 
    • Day 443 - 2025-12-17 Made a few swings in testing some things out at another academy. Might pop up on someone else's podcast in a few weeks.
    • Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
    • Day 127 12-17 Backswing and flow practice. Took advantage of the 60 degeee weather(it was 20 degrees Sunday)
