I recently played a course that well... kicked my butt. The rough was up so the smallest miss left me with a wedge back to the fairway. The greens were small and the pins tucked. Anyway, my primary difficulty was an inability to see a straight plane line to trace and execute a hinge action on etc. It was just that usually a lot of courses I play are more forgiving from the tee. When I practice I put two dowels down to create a plane line, I even spray painted them cone orange! I hit a lot of quality shots on the range, but on the course I struggle to "see it"
What do I have to do to see a straight plane line out there? I tend to lose it when I go from behind the ball to the side of it. Using an intermediate target does not help a great deal. Also, when a tour player's plane line is not his target line do they look up at the target, or do they track down the plane line? Say I am aiming 15 feet left of the flag if I look at the flag I tend to lose my plane line. Make sense? This happens all too often on the greens. A key for me is to see the plane line. Any suggestions on how to see it a little bit better?
