When approaching a green with a lot of trouble on the right, choose a specific spot on the left side of the green to aim at.   Be sure to make allowances for wind direction.  

To get focused, draw an imaginary line to the target by holding your club upright, pointing at the target.   Address the ball  along that imaginary line as your aiming guide.   More focus means greater accuracy which is the key to good golf.
