How To Properly Set Up For Your Tee-Off Shots
On the tee, good alignment is paramount. The principle of perfect aim and alignment could not be simpler - imagine a railroad track running down the fairway. The golf ball rests on the outer track, which point straight at the target.
This is where you aim the clubface.
The inner track runs parallel left of that target line. This is where you align your feet, hips, and shoulders. Collectively, this is known as perfect parallel alignment; it determines the path of your swing and is thus an essential requirement of powerful, straight driving.
Hip Alignment: Bend your upper body forward from your hips. Your hips should be aligned parallel left of the target.
Relaxed Shoulders: Your shoulders should be relaxed, with your arms hanging freely, and aligned parallel with the target.
Target Line: The clubface should be square (at right angles) to the target line. Think of the outer track of a railway line.
Feet: The line formed by your feet should be in parallel alignment to the target. Feet should be shoulder width apart and the weight should be on the balls of the feet in readiness for the swing.
