I like to visualize my chest (specifically my sternum), moving through the gate, at impact. If you approach the ball (during setup), with this image in mind, it should align your shoulders and chest correctly.
I wrote a couple of posts about alignment, that might be useful

Can you explain further on how to align the shoulder or upper back to the gate? Should they be open or closed or square? I guess I’m having a hard time visualizing this …

Thanks!

You would be surprised at how often we swing ‘out to in’. The idea of the gate is to make it second nature to swing in-to-out. Also, if a foot wide seems too easy, simply decrease the gate width. Decreasing results in even ‘crisper’ shots. For me, almost 10 years ago, when I first discovered the gate, I gained a nice, slow draw, which I have to this day. All thanks to the gate!
Also, the golf channel (Martin Hall) did a segment on the gate; and used MY technique (two tees in the ground), without acknowledging either my blog or me. 🙁
Happy golfing….
