1)   Are you standing  square to the target?  - your feet, knees, hips and shoulders must be parallel to the target line.   2)   Are you gripping the club properly?  -  your grip should be in a neutral position, whereas,  the Vs between your thumbs and first fingers should point at each  of your shoulders.   3)   Is your clubhead square to the target? – your clubhead should be perfectly square  to the target when placed behind the ball.   4)   Are  you assuming the correct posture? –  bend at the waist and  keep your back  in a relatively straight position.
