Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to stop the drift as soon as it starts in the flare.
What happened: On the landing you drifted 42 ft off the centreline, and that kind of lateral drift usually carries through to a touchdown point 42 ft off centreline and into a rollout that is still skewed off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Heading indicator: track straight down the extended runway centreline through touchdown and rollout.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,958 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 598 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 02 at PHOG Kahului International Airport in 7 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 02, the Boeing 737-800 accelerated to a takeoff distance of 4,384 ft, representing 63 % of the runway, and rotated at 145 kt. Ambient conditions were 85 °F with wind 8 kt from 11°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 7 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile northeast of PHOG, with the aircraft ascending from 927 ft asl to 15,972 ft asl, a gain of 15,045 ft achieved in 6 minutes while covering 33 nm.
Level cruise began about 5 miles northeast of Lanai City and lasted 5 minutes, during which the flight covered 30 nm.
Descent was initiated 16 miles south of Maunaloa, descending from 15,867 ft asl to 1,290 ft asl, a loss of 14,577 ft over 15 minutes and a distance of 54 nm.
The final approach to runway 04L at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport reduced altitude from 1,320 ft agl to 42 ft agl in 105 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 04L was performed with a runway length of 6,958 ft; the threshold speed was 135 kt, touchdown occurred 597 ft down the runway at 134 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 230 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 42 ft from the centreline. Weather at the time was 83 °F with wind 2 kt from 41°, no cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind.
The total landing distance recorded was 2,628 ft, representing 38 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was slightly off centreline by 41 ft.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 124 nm, taking 37 minutes and consuming 3,601 lbs of fuel.
