There’s an old expression in skiing that also applies to golf. ‘You'll always go where your eyes are pointed’. In golf you also have the added difficulty of standing to the side of the ball and looking sideways out at your target. To practice good eye alignment, get into your golf posture and hold an alignment rod about chest high, parallel to your target line. Because it’s closer, this line is an easier reference for your eyes to square up to than your target line.
