THE STORY
HOW THE BTHELINE CAME ABOUT...I have been working as a professional golf instructor for eleven years at a junior golf academy with children age 4-17. I also do private lessons for adults, but no matter the age of my students, the one mistake that I have seen most often is misalignment (off line) of the golfer's feet. I would work with students time and again trying to get them to align their feet to the target on the putting green or fairway, but I soon discovered that the majority of children and adults could not see the line. After working with thousands of children and adults golfers, both experienced and beginners, I have come to the conclusion that people may struggle with seeing the correct line to the hole or target right away, resulting in body misalignment. In discussions with my fellow golf instructors about different teaching techniques,we would all agree that it's a challenge to get some students to see the line that their feet should be on. I have been on a mission to fix this misalignment to help all golfers and make my job, and the job of other instructors, easier. I have tried most training aids on the market today, such as alignment sticks or other aids, but none worked well for long because of the need to move and re-align with each shot. One day, as I am working with a very bright and talented four year old golfer on the putting green, I noticed that she had difficulty putting her feet in the correct alignment to the hole. I went into the club house, got some paper and a marker and tape, and drew an arrow on two pieces of paper. I taped one to each of her shoes with the arrows pointing at the hole, and just like that she started making putts! From that day on, I have been making different proto-types and I now have Btheline which will work with all lace up shoes and some Velcro tab shoes as well.
