Here’s how I make sure that my alignment rod is set up properly when I practice my alignment on the driving range:

I start by crouching behind the ball: I lay down an alignment rod pointing parallel to the line that I want to start the ball on.

Then, I lay a rod directly down the line that I want the ball to take off on.

I take the ball out from under the rod…

…and double check that my lines are parallel by measuring with the grip of two clubs. I adjust the alignment rod on the left if needed.

Then I take away the rod on the right and replace it with a ball. Now I am ready to practice knowing that I am lined up correctly!

For more info on alignment, check out Feet and Shoulder Alignment, Check the Alignment of your Feet and Towel Alignment Aid.

Also, you can buy these sticks that I use for alignment at Lowes or Home Depot for about $2.00 each. They are just reflector rods. Have fun practicing!
