Aiming at your target?

[The19thHole]

When aiming at your target do you aim slightly right
of target (draw) say 5yrds, to compensate for the
curve of the shot? and vice versa for a fade to the left?

Apologies for the some what naive question :-(

General rule of thumb is (I believe):

For a draw you aim your feet right of target, club aims at target

and vice versa for fade (aim feet left).

Someone will be along shortly to correct me, I'm sure.

yes thats correct, but aim feet, hips, shoulders right/left and club at target then swing normally.
there are other techniques and methods but this is simple to remember and implement

Pick a small target to the left or right of where you want the ball to land.

Also make sure the target is not going to land you in trouble if you do hit a straight shot.
