Putting Tip

This putting tip is a little wild so bare with me! Several years ago I had a discussion with a sports opthalmologist. He made the point that golf is the only sport where we are entirely focused on the object and not the target. Imagine a Quarterback in football watching the ball instead of his receivers. Imagine a baseball infielder watching the baseball as he throws it to first base. Imagine playing horseshoes and watching the horseshoe. Doesn't happen does it. This putting tip uses the minds ability to control the swing. Try it and you will be amazed at how good you putt. 1. Take your normal putting stance. 2. Position at least 51% of your body's weight on your left foot. 3. Look at the hole. 4. Now putt while looking at the hole. Give this a try, especially if you have trouble with judging distance on long putts. It is also very effective for those who suffer from the yips. It will free you up and stop the obsession with the mechanics of the putting stroke. Good luck and have fun!
