Trust your alignment Process.


By Singapore Golf Services

I recently played a tournament, my first of the Season, and the first since my eye surgery.

I had a Cataract removed,not a big job and my sight is again 6/6, however it did affect my game.

i found it affected my setup more than anything.

I played with another Coach before the event, and he informed me that I was aligning way left.

I experimented with a line on my ball while teeing off and putting and even though I know the line was positioned perfectly to my target line, I felt I was setup left, way left.

Consequently, all my misses were right of target.

It took till the second day back 9 before I made a definite decision to just trust the alignment process.

I know I always push that philosophy too my students, and I am usually very good myself at following my own advice, but this was different as my vision had changed so dramatically everything looked different!

I took extra time finding a visible intermediate target between “the target” and the ball, and I made sure I had a practice swing rehearsing the Club path over my intermediate target, so even at address when I think I am pointing left I trusted the process, and the results were much improved.

On the Putting green, I aligned the line to the putt direction, and trusted it.

The point I guess I am trying to make, is the eyes see things differently when standing behind the ball than they do when you are astride it, and I had to re-educate myself to believe that.

If you know you have the correct target line, then don’t second guess yourself, trust the alignment and swing positively!

Oh, and I finished 15th in the Tournament, not bad for first one with 2 eyes.
