When lineing up, people make the mistake of not looking at the target as often as they should.
if I was you I would do this : After you set your club (not yet positioned your feet) start positioning your feet but at the same time looking at the target, if your eyes can see the target while your positioning yourself your going to line up correctly all the time!
Look at vijay singh while he is allinging up, he NEVER stops looking at the target untill his feet are the correct width and he feels he is comfortable and lined up!
I pick my target. Then I pick an intermediary target 6 to 10 feet from my ball. I then line up parallel to the line between my ball and my intermediary target, feet together. Then I spread my feet from there (small step with the left, larger step with the right). This does two things. One, it keeps me parallel to my target, and two, it keeps my ball position in check.
On every tee box, especially par threes, I tee the ball with logo (ball name, or a line draw on the ball) pointing at my intended target, then I align myself to it. I use Titlist Prov, so when look down I can read Titilist on the ball and just square myself to it, as I stand behind the ball I use my club to make sure it point to my target, plus an intermediate target a foot or so ahead, if any of these is off, I start over and try to find whats not right.
I work hard on my alignment and have been taught that it is like a railway track. One track is to the target and the other track is where my feet are left and pararell (hard word to spell) to it.
In my preshot routine I stand behind my ball and pick my target. With this in mind I pick a mark on the ground which is say about 6 inches forward of the ball in line with my target. At address I set up with the club face pointing at this mark and set my feet pararell to this line. I look at my target and then the ball and pull the trigger.
I've been struggling with my alignment for years to the point I could say '' Give me a correct alignment and a good golf brain and I'll find a swing ''.
