I see alignment issues all the time. Poor alignment tends to be one of the biggest contributors to a bad swing when out on the course.

Correct alignment will help reduce slices and hooks.

•    You will need two alignment sticks, a club and one golf ball.
•    Pick a target and setup to the golf ball.

•    Place the alignment stick in line with the tip of your shoes.
•    Take a step back and place the second alignment stick behind the ball and run it parallel to your foot one. 

•    Now you can check your alignment.
•    Adjust if necessary and retake your stance.
