Why this drill

Make aim on scoring shots deliberate rather than assumed.

Setup

Two sticks as rails: one on the target line, one along the toes.

How to perform it

  1. 1Build aim to a specific flag, step in and hit without re-aiming mid-setup.

Key feel

Aim is set before the swing, not during it.

Success cue

Shots start on the intended line repeatedly.

Recommended reps

10 shots.

Progression

Remove the rails and check aim on film.

Common mistake

Aiming the club at the target while the body points elsewhere.
