[O.B.Left]

So you have a seven iron in your hands and you want a 5 yard cut to a hole cut right. How do you do it? How should we set up our machine?

-Aim the whole machine, clubface and all 5 yards left of the hole.
-Turn the machine, the plane line but not the clubface to left to a degree that is perhaps acquired through trial and error? Increased club face loft decreasing the effects of side spin on the balls curve etc.

Or use a different pre shot routine that results in much the same alignments (except for maybe a ball position consideration):

-aim the whole machine, plane line, clubface etc the same amount to the left of the hole as above. (5 yards plus whatever)
-then spin the grip in your hands to open the clubface to a point 5 yards left of the hole.

I tend to towards the latter method as simply opening my body has little practical effect on my club head path, plane line. Perhaps its just me. Not sure if this is TGM correct or not.

Do you swing as per usual? Or employ angled hinging? This is where things get foggy for me. Wouldnt hinging have an effect? Or is this unnecessary?

Is there a difference for the hitter vs the swinger, hinging aside?
