First, don't stand on the tee and regard the entire width of the fairway as your target area. Not only is that much too vague, it opens the door to complacency. Unless you have a specific target against which to measure you performance off the tee, you can never hope to be consistent. The key is to sharpen your focus with 'tunnel vision'. Allowing for your natural shape, take dead aim on some specific object - perhaps a tree, or a distant rooftop - anything that enables you to pinpoint your alignment.

'I don't care how good you play, you can find somebody who can beat you, I don't care how bad you play, you can find somebody who you can beat.' Harvey Penick 1904-1995, USPGA Teaching Professional Emeritus.
