What one extremely important secret do both Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods share? Both legendary golfers use the same intermediate-target process to laser-focus their aim on every full shot.
To begin, start from behind the ball and pick a spot close to you, like a broken tee on the tee box, old divot or dark piece of grass that’s on the same line as your ultimate target. Then picture a line from the ball through both of those targets.
Step into your stance with your back foot, then line up your clubface so it’s perpendicular to the intermediate target. As you finish setting up, make sure your feet, knees, hips, shoulders and eyes are aligned parallel to the line that runs from the ball through both targets.
Take a last look at the far target. If your aim feels off before you swing, go through the whole process again. Don’t just adjust a single element, like your feet or shoulders. That throws your entire alignment out of whack.
