Intermediate Target for Straight Shots

Most golfers misaim the club face before the swing.  Golfers who routinely misaim will make adjustments to their swing to make the ball finish at the target.  Adjusting the swing can rob the golfer of power, direction and solid contact. 

Most of the touring professional use an intermediate target.  An intermediate target is a spot between the ball and the target about 5 to 6 feet out from the ball.  This is like a sight on a gun.  Standing behind the ball, before you step up to the ball, will allow you to pick an intermediate target so you can get the club face squared up along with your body.  Knowing you are aligned correctly with the intermediate target should help you correct misaiming the club.
