Shape a shot with a three-step target-and-face formula

The instructor gives a three-step formula for shaping a shot: first pick a starting target and an end target, then align your body to the starting target and set the club face toward the end target, then make a regular swing. In the demonstrated draw she starts the ball at the right edge of the green with the face closed to the flag.
