ALIGN YOUR SELF

Name them… HjMusa, HjBujang, Hj Zaidi….. Who else? Zainudin! Soo Kee!. Some more…Yes.. Hj Nasir! One time or another, these golfers complaint of the tee-box, the slope, the green and name it!

Hey…helo…There's nothing in the rules of golf that says course designers must help you. Or, that course marshall must help you. The way a superintendent mows the grass doesn't always give you a true aim down the course. They are not professional anyway.

The tee boxes are not always aligned squarely to the hole or to the best line for a drive. In fact, the designers often align the tee boxes right or left of the true line to deceive you.

Here are five tips on overcoming a designer's tricks:
1. Assess the situation carefully
2. Pick out a specific target
3. Align feet, hips, and shoulders
4. Align your clubface to the target line
5. Stay within yourself

Aim and alignment are important. A blitz off the tee can cost you strokes if you're not aligned properly. Take a few extra seconds to determine the best line for your shot. Don't be fooled by things like the angle or the shape of the tee boxes or the mowing pattern on the fairway.
