Shawn – I could not find a video on alignment other than this one, so here goes. I play in a company golf league and have played the same course for 32 years. There is one hole that is wide open and I have had trouble hitting my tee shot in play on this hole – it is a 500 yard par 5 that must have 200 yards of width to hit it into. Another player mentioned how hard it can be to hit a good tee shot there even though it was wide open, this past Thursday.
The thing about this hole is that it is wide open and straight away like a runway – there is really nothing to aim at. There is a fence along the right side and a stand of trees left. Those are both common miss locations – as if the finish of a Don’t hit it… at the trees, at the fence, line of thinking.
Have you ever done anything with how to aim on a hole where there is nothing to aim at? You have your intermediate point, but the mind (at least mine) can be unsatisfied with that, despite familiarity with the hole? I pick out a location on the fairway but I think it may be easier to lose that spot versus a tree.
You do understand that you always use the intermediate point to deliver the shot too right? Combine this with a specific flight plan of fade or draw and a specific height for the shot and you can fit the ball just about anywhere!

-alignment reload
-and we have a whole series on alignment and side vision coming in 2 weeks, stay tuned!
Shawn, could you please direct me to this alignment/ side vision series? Definitely feel this gets the best of my swing and what’s holding me back from playing my best golf.
Yes, you bet! Huge lesson here: https://wisdomingolfpremium.com/alignment-reload/
this is the holy grail of alignment and how it feels so that you can stay with your task!

Diagonal driver swing
Does takeaway go along target line (as if set up square )/??
Or along toe line which feels like bringing club too far inside ?
Trying to think about ball not being target ……..target is target
Thanks

Check out the “diagonal stance series” and combine with “match backswing to target” video; so yes, you swing the momentum in the direction you want to start the ball and NOT along the stance line.

Really enjoyed the video. I’ve used the one foot target for years but I’ve made the mistake of looking up at the target after I’ve taken my stance. This would sabotage my confidence in the correct line that I had seen from the back or behind view, which affected my swing and concentration. Now, no more second guessing. Thanks again, Mike H.
Yeah man!!!👍👍😀😀
