Golfweek video instruction: Why you are hitting shots offline

When a shot goes offline, most golfers immediately blame their swing.

Professional long driver Averee Dovsek shares a simple pre-shot check that could help solve one of the biggest issues in your golf game.

The problem could lie in your setup and the way your clubface is resting at address. Taking the time to pick a target and check that the clubface is squared up to that target is an important step toward hitting a successful golf shot. Manipulating the clubface can happen easily when golfers grip the club, so stay aware of this simple mistake the next time you get out to play.
