aiming

I'm have been told at times I'm aiming away from the target. Not sure if this is a physical thing, but would like some tips on proper aiming.

Thanks

Aim your clubface at the target and then set your feet.  If you set your feet first and then your clubface you will likely be off.  If you have trouble aligning your club to the target, stand behind the ball and see your line.  Then pick a spot on the ground (just in front of your ball) that is online with the target and setup to that.  Also it helps to use clubs/sticks for alignment when you practice.  Gets you used to being properly aligned.

there is probably a reason why you are not aiming towards the target - I doubt it is your ability to aim. It is most likely a subconscious attempt to compensate for something, like a poor path or clubface pattern.

But anyway - just occasionally check on the range. Set up to the ball, get comfortable, then put the club on your feet line and walk back and see. If your are miles off, then try and get it back within parameters. But if it is a little off, then leave it (unless you are hitting the ball where you are aiming it.

remember, Trevino aimed wildly left, Snead, hogan and many others aimed to the right largely. some players like Bubba Watson chnage it every shot. Its more important where the path and face is going. Work on controlling the ball, and your alignment will get better. And if it doesnt, who cares, you can now control the ball.
