Golf tip: Line it up


"An essential part of playing good golf is making sure you are going in the right direction. As I am setting up to hit a shot, I make sure to first align the club head with the target. I then carefully step into the set- up, aligning my body parallel to the club's target line. Think of these two lines as railroad tracks, with the last stop being the target."
