In part one of this series on putting we discussed the two types of putting: (1) the Square to Square method, and (2) the Arc method. In part two of this series, we discussed the proper grip usage, based on your method of putting.
This week we are going to keep it very simple and talk about aim. The USGA allows all golfers to draw a line on our golf balls; however, so many players I teach don't take advantage of this concession. If you do not draw a line around your ball with a sharpie pen or purchasing golf balls that manufacturers (like Titleist, pictured below) are now creating with a line on them, you are throwing away strokes.
This is the biggest NO-BRAINER in golf. Make sure you put a straight line on the ball. Be very meticulous about where you aim
the line when you place your ball. Then aim the line on your putter to the line on the ball. It’s a simple correction, but one that many golfers find so effective. It almost assures that you will aim your putter correctly. Aiming the putter correctly is absolutely mandatory for three footers. This method will also help you start your ball online more often on the longer putts as well.Coming up in a future issue:
Your eye line and whether or not your eyes are really supposed to be over the ball when you putt.
