Will this golf idea work for you?



I was thinking to myself that the thing which matters most in golf is
hitting the ball on the intended line...ie at impact position in the
swing the club face should be pointing to the target.
We take up the address position to line up and then play the shot but
if the ball flies off right or left
what has happened at impact? Where did we go wrong with the club
face?
My idea is this... make two practice moves towards the ball,, (before
the actual full hit), stopping just before the ball - at impact
position- and seeing if the club face is still pointing to the target.
And then, if it looks and feels right, play the shot on the third
pass. The main thing is, on the first two practice moves, the whole
body is to take the same shape as it would appear if you had taken a
freeze frame of yourself at impact. ( ie. right heel off the floor,
hands forward, straight right arm, etc.).... you should not just swing
back to how you looked at address..
I tried this with every club and I get a lot of quality straight
shots...
I hope this will help someone out there...
