Unfortunately, they are often the least talked about and the most misunderstood among golfers. Without a solid understanding of their function and how they relate to the golf swing, it’s nearly impossible to raise the level of your game. Setting up to a target that goes from directly in front of you to beside you at address causes an optical illusion. An illusion that is difficult to overcome. The pre-shot routine alignment training will help you overcome this illusion and ingrain a pre-shot routine to memory so you can properly execute any shot. It should become a permanent reference aid for your practice sessions after returning home.

These shots vary in difficulty from easy little pitches with room to run the ball back to the hole to those very tricky flop shots over a bunker to a tight pin. When you add in the variety of hitting from fairways, rough, off of and over mounds, water and bunkers, you'll quickly realize that you will be prepared for any situation.

Tee Shot and Long Irons Getting off to a good start on any hole leads to more fun and lower scores. As the old saying goes, "the woods are filled with long hitters." What most people don't understand is that the driver and long iron swing is the same as the wedge and 7 iron swing, it's just with a longer and less lofted club.
