How Do You Avoid The Most Common Basic Mistake In Golf?
The most common basic mistake made by golfers of all skill levels is incorrect alignment. You cannot hit a bull’s-eye if you are aiming your rifle at the wrong target. Visualize a firing range. You are pointing your rifle at a target straight down range. 3 feet to your right is another marksman, also firing his rifle at a target straight down range. The target you are firing at is LEFT of his target because you are left of him. Visualize your shoulders being aimed at a target straight down range. Instead of another marksman 3 feet to your right, visualize a golf ball and the head of a golf club about to rifle the ball straight down range. The target your shoulders are aimed at is LEFT of the golf ball target because you are LEFT of the golf ball. Remember that your shoulders and body must always be lined up slightly left of target because you are at a firing station on the firing range left of the firing station of the golf ball. Carefully align every golf shot. Stand behind the ball.
