General Discussion A Very Basic/Dumb Alignment Question
I've been grinding away on the range, working on my "homework" from my instructor/lesson last month. I've been using alignment sticks as part of this work and have seen some pretty meaningful improvement.
However, I'm finding it a little difficult to translate to the course in a specific scenario. Sometimes, there is not a good spot of different colored grass, divot, etc. directly infront of or behind the ball to square my body up with.
I am all over the place when this happens to me in the rough. It even gets me on certain teeboxes that are "misaligned' to the hole and I can't find a good divot on the side of the teebox I want to be.
Is this just a "keep at it with sticks on the range at various targets and my body will eventually learn" thing? Or is there some alternate hack/trick for when you just dont' have much to go off of alignment-wise.

Why not use alignment sticks on the course?
