Target Line

An imaginary straight line extending from the golf ball to the intended target, used for alignment and aim during setup and execution of golf shots. The target line serves as the fundamental reference for proper alignment of feet, hips, shoulders, and club face at address. Professional golfers and instructors emphasize target line awareness as essential for consistent ball-striking and accuracy. Visualization of the target line helps golfers commit to their intended shot and maintain focus throughout the swing. Many practice routines incorporate target line drills using alignment sticks or other training aids to develop proper alignment habits.
