Second Set of Eyes

The basics are quite simple to understand, however, what we see when we are in position to hit a shot is often not what is reality as our perception from above the ball may be slightly off. Alignment is best practiced with the help of another individual that can see what you cannot when you are in position to hit a shot. Hopefully you have someone with whom you play a lot of golf that can be very helpful in making sure your alignment is consistent and accurate. Spouses (yes, I know this goes against the good nature of many of us) are an excellent choice, especially if he or she plays golf. I would suggest you pick someone who is willing to partner up with you to practice what good alignment looks like while you are over the ball.
