Brandon, I'm a little late to the party but hope you see this in case it helps.  I see a lot of people on course that are not even remotely lining up in the direction they think they are.  If I am playing with a buddy that I know won't mind I will actually see them lining up 30 degrees to the right of the target and get them to stop so I can lay a club across their  toes to get them to see it.  They are always amazed.  It's painful to watch someone hit exactly where they are aiming and not be happy it's in the woods.

This is how I have always done it:

Pick your target, center of fairway, pin, whatever.  Make it a definite spot, not an area.

Get behine your ball and pick out an object between 6 and 10 feet feet in front of your ball that is in line with your ball and the target.  Blade of grass, broken tee etc.  If there isn't anything exact use an inch or two right or left.

Looking at your mark (blades of grass are easy to lose) address your ball.  If you want to line up square (feet on line parallel to target, club face perpendicular to target) place your club so the face is exactly perpendicular (90 degrees) to the target line.  Place your feet on a line that is 10 yards left of target and parallel to the target line.  If you point your feet right at target you will be closed.

Practice by setting up this way and then put your club across your toes and get behind your address postion.  The club should be pointing 10 yards left (for a righty) of target.

Use the mark but adjust if you want to setup open or closed.  At least the mark gives you a reference.

Hope that helps.
