Published on Tuesday, October 26, 2021

Are you tired of your slice? Grab an alignment rod and let's get rid of it.

PGA Coach A.J. Nelson sent us a simple drill that could help you straighten out your shots, hit more fairways & greens and ultimately lower your scores.

All you need is an alignment rod; You can even pick up a plastic rod from your local hardware store for less than a dollar.

Stick the alignment rod two clubs lengths behind the ball.
The alignment rod should be approximately knee high.
Set up your alignment parallel to the rod
Work on swinging inside of the alignment rod; If you hit the stick, you're swing is coming over the top.

Check out the drill above & be sure to connect with a PGA Coach in your area for golf lessons that will help your game.
