The Key to Straight Drives: Proper Tee Box Alignment #shorts
PGA Professional Tom Blanckaert from We Play Golf demonstrates a simple yet effective trick for perfect tee box alignment. By using the driver shaft against the shoulders to verify the lead arm's direction, golfers can ensure they are properly aligned to their target line for more consistent, straight drives.
Commit to your target line 100% while standing behind the ball before addressing it.
Use the 'shoulder-shaft' trick: place the shaft across your shoulders and extend your lead arm to check if you are pointing at the target.
Approach the ball and set the clubface with your right hand only to maintain focus on the target line.
Ensure your feet are parallel to the target line, not pointing directly at the target itself.
Confidence in your alignment eliminates doubt during the swing, leading to better commitment and straighter shots.
