Hello.
I'm Brian Fitzgerald The Golf Doctor.
And today I am going to show you the most common
alignment mistake tip that I see in my day
to day coaching.
It's a very simple thing. And ninety percent
of the people I coach do this incorrectly.
it's very easy to fix.
Stay tuned.

So what is that simple alignment mistake that
most golfer make?
90% of the people that I coach make this mistake.
So if 90% of the people that I teach make
the mistake. There has got to be a reason
why they make it.
And there is.
It's simply, when we take our grips. We have
our left hand on top of the club and then
when I go to take my grip with my right hand.
Watch what my shoulders do when I place
my right hand on the club.
My shoulders point to the left.
So if I was to do that again with an alignment
stick.
As soon as I go to put my hand on the club
so that my left hand is on the top. My right
hand goes on the bottom and suddenly my shoulders
are pointing left of where my feet are pointing.
So as soon as your shoulders are pointing
left of where your feet are pointing. You
are going to have a swing path what people
call out to in. I prefer to say you are going
to swing to the left of the target line.
or accross your body.
That could make you pull it or it could make
you pull it. It depends on what your clubface
does at the time.
But the thing we need to do most of all. is
to make sure when we take our grip we keep
our left shoulder where it is there.
If anything it gets higher that creates a space
for my right hand to fit on the grip.
If I start turning my left shoulder to accomodate
my right hand I have poor alignment.
So you will notice some golf pros take their
grip in front of them. That's fine.
So when you do that it's easy to take your
grip. Then they tilt there left shoulder higher
at address.
So when I do that my shoulders are then in
line with my feet.
So as I said it is a simple thing. but it
is a very important thing.
If your shoulders are pointing left of the
target.
You are going to get some very inconsistent
ball flight.
Thankyou for letting me help you with your
golf.
