One of my students of many years, Jim Renner now a new member of the PGA Tour, came to me this spring to work on his pre-shot routine or we have come to know as Preliminary Address (8-1). When he asked me what I do, I explained to him about Alignment and how I always used the same ideas used by Jack Nicklaus. He looked at me puzzled as if he never heard of such a thing. When I pressed him on how he aligns himself to the target he said, “I just look out there and hit it". This immediately brought Fred couple to mind. "Why didn't we ever go over this before," he asked. To which I replied, "We never had to."

I guess it's a good thing when elements/alignments of the golf swing occur naturally, but I would think it's also easy to get lost, when things go wrong, when you don't know what you are doing?
