RE: Impact ...
As the club face is turned away slightly in the address it should be turned away still more as the club is drawn back, and this turning should continue as far as you can to the top of the swing.

Face angle - direction of club face alignment relative to the target line
Fat shot - refers to hitting the ground before striking the ball, hitting behind the ball
Face - The hitting area or surface of the club head.
Correcting your hip and spine angle will square the club face at impact so you can hit the ball with an anti-clockwise spin.
This talent is essential to coordinate swinging the club so it contacts the ball where you want it to on the club face.
Every wayward shot is proof you are not squaring the club face at contact. When you slice the ball, your are swinging on a outside to in swing path and coming across the ball, and the hook is just the opposite.
A good golf club lie angle creates a larger sweetspot - the portion of the club face where you can hit the ball well - and therefore the iron or wood is more forgiving. Ergo: you can make more distance. No, I'm not going to be too technical.
Square Club Face at Impact
Aligning both the Feet and Shoulders at the Target
Having a Neutral Grip as diagramed in the Grip section.
To control the clubface via the left hand it must be trained to execute whatever action you want the club face to do.
1. Layback
2. Close
3. Close and Layback
Each of these motions produce different trajectories but all give straight away flight.
The grip of a golf club plays a definite roll in a player's ability to turn the club over and square the club face at impact.
The grip controls the club face. Make sure that the "V" formed by the thumb and forefinger on each hand point toward your trailing-side shoulder (right shoulder for the right hander).
Get a good grip to a square club face. Standing on the extended target line from behind the ball, visualize the shot to be played. Find a line you want the ball to start out on, perhaps an intermediate target, to make aligning the clubface easier.
Steve Loesher: Two things to look for: whether you grip is correct because the club face is definitely open at impact. That's because you are holding on to the club too tight or your grip position (hands on the club) is weak.
Your club face should represent the outer rail and your stance should represent the inner rail. Walk in and set your club face on your target line, then build your stance on the inner "rail". Use this to align yourself on every shot.
The direction of the club face and the ball should point and extend all the way through your target. The line the ball will make is a straight line.
The greater the loft of the club face, the more dramatic the misdirection will be.
On the Screws: An expression which refers to the ball being struck squarely and in the center of the club face or on the sweet spot.
Grooves: Cut into club face to help impart spin in V or U shape with a maximum width of .035in.
Gross Score: The actual number of strokes taken by a player for hole or round before the player's handicap is deducted.
For example you will have more club face rotation, which gives you a much better chance of squaring the club.
This is an essential aspect of a good golf game so bear this in mind the next time you are taking a shot.

Q. It is recommended placing an identification mark on my golf ball. May I use a line or an arrow that will also help me align the club face?
Second, keep the putter low to the ground in the follow-through. This helps keep the wrists firm during the stroke, allowing you strike the ball solidly with the club face square to the target.
Also means the angle at which the club face is set from the vertical and is used to lift the ball into the air. It is measured precisely as the angle between the face and a line parallel to the shaft.
