Your alignment starts before you set your feet. 🎯

Scratch Golf Academy highlights the importance of aiming the clubface before setting your feet. By stepping into the shot with your trail foot and building your stance around the aligned club, you ensure proper alignment and clearer target perception.

• Aim the clubface directly at your target before positioning your feet.
• Step into the setup using your trail foot to keep the target line in view.
• Build your stance and body alignment around the club, not vice versa.
• Avoid aiming your body first, which often leads to misaligned clubfaces.
