Cindy Miller teaches as aspect of aiming your driver that you probably have never thought of. Know your dominant eye and adjust your setup accordingly to start hitting more fairways.

Good tip Cindy. Sounded weird when I heard it but it really helps. I am right handed and left eye dominant and already following your tip. Thanks
Righthanded player, left eye dominant here. This is excellent. If the current ice age ever ends here in PA I will be working on this... Sometimes I feel like I lose my sightline when I get over the ball. Thank you! I learned about eye dominance when I was 12 years old (48 years ago...). I was hunting with my dad and learning how to shoot a shot gun with both eyes open. I shot righthanded and my dad & I couldn't figure out why I wasn't hitting a paper plate 15 or so yards away (his buddy started sarcastically calling me Dead-Eye because I was such a terrible shot). After much frustration, Dad told me to switch to shooting lefty and I was all over the plate - same thing if I shot righthanded and closed my dominant left eye. I have been interested in this topic ever since. Thanks again!
Ms. Miller, just FYI, Dr. Brooke Stuart (who played golf at the 'U') is a functional/integrative medicine physician and could be a significant resource for you and your colleagues. Her website is www.DrBrookeStuart.com. Dr. Brooke works with many high level and professional athletes on mental and emotional improvements to their personal and professional lives. She could also speak towards the physical biological balance we all look for. Look her up, you have much in common. All the best and thank you for all your valuable content.
What exactly do you mean "walk into the ball open"?
Hi cindy, you mentioned jack and johnny both with left eye dominance, can you do a similar video on putting?
Cindy, great video. I’ve struggled with aiming right of my target my whole life. One thing though. You talked about walking into the stance open, but I don’t think you showed us the difference in walking in open vs. closed. Do you mean open like we would setup for a fade with feet, hips and shoulders left of the target or something else?
What a great tip!!! Been playing for many years. Never heard anything like this.
Absolutely brilliant! Cindy your tips are always fun to watch, pragmatic and very useful. As an added bonus you are one of the very, very few presenters who actually do respond to comments. Many thanks, please keep those tips coming, Gordon.
Glad someone addressed this - I’m also left eye dominant and play right handed (something about Euro parenting suggesting I should favor my right hand when I was much younger). Now if I could only play half or as quarter as good as Jack !!
11 years previous law enforcement, tons and tons of shooting, and you explained this perfectly and applied marksmanship language to golf "shooting". Well done.
