Golf Alignment - Two Great Tips

How you align yourself when setting up to hit a golf ball has a critical affect on how good your golf shots are going to turn out. But don't believe me. Read what a golf legend has to say on this alignment issue

"It goes without saying that it is no good having a perfect setup, perfect grip and perfect golf swing if the whole thing is misaligned. It sounds obvious but many players simply do not spend enough time getting themselves on target."

nick faldo - winner of 6 major Championships

So hopefully you now understand the importance of golf alignment. And if you do, here's a simple exercise that you can quickly and easily do to check your feet alignment.

To do this golf alignment exercise I want you to setup to a golf shot as normal and get comfortable. Then just before you're ready to hit your shot, get two golf balls and without moving your feet place them directly behind your heels so they're touching your feet. Now take your feet away and go back behind your ball down the line of your target and see how good your alignment was.

The beauty of doing this golf alignment exercise is that it shows you exactly where you are aligning your feet and then you can simply change the golf balls so they align correctly and then setup with these balls touching your heels. If your feet have been aligned incorrectly for a while then it will feel quite strange when you align them correctly. But keep practicing and before long, your new feet alignment will become second nature.

So that is a great and easy way to check the alignment of your feet. But you still have to check the alignment of your knees, hips and shoulders as they also have a big affect on your golf shots success. And the absolute best way of checking this is to get a person to get a golf club and lay it across each part of your body once you've setup to a shot. But remember, you want each part of your body to be aligned parallel to the starting line of your golf shot.

You do NOT want your body to be aligned directly at your target. A good way to picture this is to imagine yourself setting up to hit a golf shot on railway tracks. Imagine the golf ball on one rail and you're standing on the other rail.

Golf alignment is critical to your success and consistency so check it often, because it's very easy to align yourself incorrectly without even knowing. But now you know exactly what you need to do to check your alignment so you have no excuse. So please make an effort to check it often...because it can only do your golf game good.

Beating Disney World Hotels, the Secret Savvy Travelers Know

Have you been to walt disney World? No? Then when you go the first time, by all means take advantage of the plethora of disney Themed Resort Hotels. Each of them is fantastic in their own way.

The contemporary Resort has the Monorail going right through the lobby. The grand Floridian is posh and stylish. The wilderness Lodge is rustic and outdoors like. If you like the South Seas the Polynesian has the best of Hawaii and Polynesia. For that feeling of being in Africa, the Animal Kingdom Lodge cant be beat.

Each of these resorts is a multi-million dollar themed experience that cant be beat. The trouble with most of these resorts is that they cost a fortune to stay at, if you can even get a room. Prices can range from $250 to $600 a night for a standard room. Granted these are the best resorts disney has. one of the problems with these resorts, or any hotel for that matter, is the lack of space you find in your room. Its a hotel after all. Typical hotel rooms have no more than 500 to 800 sq ft. and two beds. If you have more than 3 children it becomes a challenge. You either must book another room or an expensive suite.

Heres the little secret. Private owners have second vacation homes close by Disney world only a short distance from the entrance. These homes are just like a normal home and have bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, garage, and everything a typical home would have. You can rent these home just like you rent a hotel room and, they are a lot cheaper than the disney world resort hotels. homes generally rent from $100 to $300 a night and many have a private pool.

Still want to stay at a favorite disney Resort? Heres a trick. Book just 1 or 2 days at your favorite resort and experience the resort to its fullest. Book a vacation home for the rest of your vacation and save money. Im willing to bet that youll love the disney Resort, but feel more at home in the vacation home.

If you have a group larger than four people, youll really enjoy the space a vacation home gives you. Usually youll have 3 or 4 bedrooms. Children can play outside near the pool or watch TV in the living room. You can cook your own food and not only eat healthier, but also save money on meals.

The biggest disadvantage that vacation homes have is something that Disney has a monopoly on. That is the luxury of having the monorail come right to your hotel. With a vacation home you must rent a car and drive a bit, but the savings and the extra space are worth it.

Next time you go to walt disney world try a vacation home. I think youll enjoy the experience.

Scott Ames owns a vacation home near Walt Disney world and has been going to Disney theme parks since 1971. His vacation home is for rent by the week and more information can be found at: http://www.orlandogatherings.com
