You need to better edit the video. What was meant to be stated was to tee up on the right side of the tee box for a dogleg right and on the left side for a dogleg left.

James To exaggerate the right or left of the tee box. Stand outside the marker (if it is still a good level stance.) Ball is in between he markers = Legal. I do this often. I know this will mess with the average golfers mind. When trying to help a golfer, they will give you the reason they do it thier way. Being a product design since 1978. I am willing to find and go to the proper solution without reservation. This allow my focus to be on the fun of the game and not which of my swings shows up that day or moment.
Thanks

I am posting this question to subscribers in general. I appreciate these daily videos. They are generally of high relevance and as such their usefulness would be increased by responses from the presenters. Such responses are, however, very rare. Why then, at the end of each video tip, is an offer made that we can post questions which will be answered as soon as possible? If the presenters are unable or unwilling to respond why do they make the offer? Btw I have been a faithful subscriber since the “Revolution Golf” days. Any insights anyone?

When I tee my ball on the left side of the tee box - to avoid trouble on the left - I tend to block my tee shot to the right, often missing the fairway altogether. I don't hook my tee shots, more of a slight draw. Is my problem most likely alignment or some other flaw? (BTW, I realize this isn't much information from which to work.) Thank you in advance for your response.

Sorry, But i do not understand why you are aiming right in a dog leg left. If there was no wind (right to left), would you do the same thing? Are you aiming right because of this wind? Explain to your viewers why you are aiming right if you can please. And is this the standard? Thanks

This violates the rule that when shaping a shot, don’t take a risk of trouble if it goes straight. A straight shot to the right going into the trees is not an acceptable miss.

Does your teeing up position also make sense for a golfer that can only hit a fade?
Thank you
