Why look at the ball? Drive for show, putt for dough. In a few days I was getting more comfortable with the system than before. Distance is a little tough to get used to. One day while on the practice green I decided to try looking at the hole as I was setting up for a putt. You may love it and win all of the dough. Take a look at the hole, now back down as if your putter was in your hand. Soon I began to putt in our living room on the carpet. Theres no doubt about it, putting well will have you smiling all the way home. Now toss the ball to the hole without looking at the hole. It is as true today as it was away back then also. I surprised myself by holing it out. If you are human, more than likely your next drive may be in trouble. You try to fly it over the trap and you put it into the sand. Hole the ball in your right hand. I found that I had to aim at a spot a foot short of my target. It seemed that when I concentrated on an exact spot on the card the ball would hit that area. What a great feeling automotive steering parts of satisfaction surges through the body when it works perfectly.There is a lot of fun to be have by standing up to the ball on the tee, taking a practice swing or two and then driving that little pill straight and long down the fairway. With the coming of spring the clubs came out of hiding and the putts began to drop. You may hook or slice it into the trees, or worse, your ball decides to take a swim in the lake.. However, unless you are a very low handicap golfer, that feeling happens very rarely during the round. Shots begin to accumulate on the scorecard quite quickly in this manner.Try this. My scores suffered and so did my brain. Now, resume the position with the ball again but now look at the hole. So how do you become a good putter, consistently?While playing golf for a good many years I was classified as a duffer. Stand on the practice green ready to put but without the putter. On the other hand, possibly you miss the green with your second shot, chip to within eight feet and make a nice putt. Soon winter set in and the clubs went into storage. What a feeling. That worked for me as the ball would generally travel about a foot past the hole if it didnt go in. A few more tries and I was hooked. My wife and I placed a couple of old Christmas cards ten feet apart on the floor in an inverted V shape. This expression has been around for as long as the game of golf. Watch a spot on the edge or on the pin and toss the ball to that spot. I could not putt consistently. What is easier? Why not look at the hole while putting. The aim was to try to putt the ball into the V. It was tough trying to hit the ball with the center of the putter but I was dropping more putts than I was missing. Concentrate not only on the hole but an exact spot such as a blade of grass or a half inch from the right edge or some other point. More often than not, golfers think they are picking a spot when they are really picking an area.
