Most of us know to align our setup on the tee by picking out something on the ground a few feet in front of your ball that is on the ball-to-target line.

You find a nice place to stand, put the ball and tee in the ground, then step back and find that spot.

Wrong.

Find the spot first. Then put the tee in the ground on the target-to-spot line extended. If you try this, I’ll think you will get a surer feeling of being aligned when you take your stance.
