WhyGolf Alignment Discs and padded alignment rods

WhyGolf Alignment Discs — from $69.99

For the dad whose range sessions involve a lot of alignment sticks and a little too much guesswork. WhyGolf’s Alignment Discs help him set rods at precise angles on grass or mats, work on swing path, plane and setup, and keep practice from turning into another bucket of beautiful mistakes.
