part of my course management recently is to aim and align slightly left and this works wonders if you usually fade the ball...

Re: Aim and Align Slightly Left
All good as long as it's not aiming directly at trouble such as OOB or water, etc. Aiming at rough's ok though... -
Re: Aim and Align Slightly Left
hi bulldog
i regularly set up aiming for the bunkers on the left side of the course and let the ball fade away from the trouble towards the middle of the fairway, i find it works great doing that and i seem to have total confidence's that the ball will turn to the right. about 98% off my shots go to the right and only about 2% go straight.

Re: Aim and Align Slightly Left
I think we're in the territory of 'whatever works for you', aren't we? I think I'd just about go for the bunker principle, in that I'm pretty confident it wouldn't be absolutely disastrous to be in one, where as accidentally hitting a straight one into a lake is a bit different.
I'm getting this fro the Dr Bob Rotella book, and I have to say I agree with the rest of it, and the effect saying 'don't hit it in the water' has on most peoples' minds, but I've no doubt some peoples' heads are much stronger than my own!Comment

Re: Aim and Align Slightly Left
Much prefer "Whatever Floats your Boat..."
That said, I regularly stand on the teeing ground, 18 times in every round, as it happens, and think to myself that I should aim straight down the middle......
Just in case I actually hit one straight.......!!!

Re: Aim and Align Slightly Left
what i hate is when you have a breese blowing away from the OOB so you aim straight down the right hand side of the fairway - inside the OOB area and you slice it... so 2nd shot you aim straight and plug it a mile only for the wind to hit it and put it into the trees on the other side of the fairway
this 1 hole inparticular changes year round with the wind or even week to week so it becomes very frustrating... but hitting right side of fairway has huge rewards as it opens the green right up... it's a par4Comment

Re: Aim and Align Slightly Left
I've done this too as my stock shot is a 5-10 yard fade. Annoyingly though, it has straightened me up a little, so I guess I was aiming right and swinging across myself a bit anyways!Originally posted by cyc53870 View Post
I like feeling open to the target. It's comfy.Comment
