Know your shot shape and dial it in on the range with this drill from John Montgomery. Using intentional curve widens the fairway allowing you to get the ball in play more frequently.

I went to a session many years ago at Bear Creek Golf Club in Murrieta, CA where Jack Nicklaus gave us tips on how to make these swings and ball flights happen. His explanation was quite simple. He said align your feet/stance on the line of flight you want to start with. Slightly open the stance for a right to left flight and closed for the opposite. Then he instructed that you aim the clubface at your target. So a slight fade, like the ones he always hit, would start with a slightly open stance, swing down that line, and open the clubface aimed at address to the desired landing point and that will give you a slight left to right flight that lands in the area of your target. He demonstrated this on the course with us giving it a try and it worked. I've used the idea for the last 40 years and it continues to work.

Did not show what to do to make it curve, what about hand position, feet, etc.?
