First the good news.
As many of you will know (and many have tried to help with) my driving has always been woeful at best. However since I had the shaft cut down to 44" my ball striking has improved and following the switch last week to a 12 degree loft I've gained distance - not up with the 300 yarders but at 250+ more than respectable enough for me, for now.
The bad news is that - as you will guess from the title - that I am ahem directionally challenged.
We have a nice grass area at the range and yesterday's practice was typical.
Lay down a club, set up to it, swing nice and easy and the ball is away with one of those "pick up your tee" strikes, even with a slight but consistent draw.
Take the club away. Stand behind the ball. Pick the "blade of grass" - or whatever a few feet away. Walk round, setup up, swing nice and easy and the ball is pushed way right.
Try as I might as I walk from behind to the side I just lose the target line. A few more tries and I lose my set up and start slicing.
So please, please, please does anyone out there have an alternative to the "blade of grass" approach
