2025 PGA Teacher of the Year Jason Baile breaks down proper alignment at address, a commonly misunderstood concept. Many golfers focus on their feet but neglect their upper body positioning, which plays a critical role in setting up correctly.
Start by establishing flexion, slight right bend, and a small left ribcage rotation at address. Step in with your right foot, feel your ribcage rotate slightly left, and let your right hand’s lower position create natural tilt. Bow into the ball, set your eyes on the target, and let your feet fall into place. Master these elements, and you’ll find yourself perfectly aligned every time.
