Hi Terry

Welcome to the forum...I am sorry to hear that your right ear is causing problem in your game.
As for setting up the open or closed stance during the address, I put a golf club pointing towards the target in front my feet and I try to line up using that club.
After practicing on the range like described above, hopefully you will line up correctly in the field.
As for the other drill, best bet is to seek out a Pro in your area and tell him about your problem.
Sorry I can't be a much help...=(

Hi Terry welcome aboard, not quite sure what you mean by stance closed over, maybe a little more info would help...sorry to hear about the other forum, hopefully you wont have that problem here. The board here is quite international in flavor with just as many people from both sides of the pond, so any advice is truely international in scope. Again welcome

re welcome

Thank you guys for the welcome,feel a part of it already
as for the other forum,"thats life". Finished now.
There is no guaranteed "fix",I,m just going to have to formulate some solution I suppose
The "other" forum that will stay un-named actually told me 2 things (1) alignment doesnt mean a thing (2) good players aim all over the place.I,m sorry, that doesnt gell to me.
Any thoughts.
TERRY

Hi Terry

Sometimes when I cant see the wood for the trees, I go back to real basics.

Feet, knees and shoulders parrallel to my target, then forget everything else and swing the club.

Build back up from there, make sure ball position and swing path follow your required target line.

See how you get on from there, add all the little complications that we each have with our swings as you go along.
