PUTTING BASICS | GOLF TIPS BY GORD PERCY A – In a good setup for putting, it is essential to have your shoulders and eyes aligned parallel to the target line. Right-handed putters should have their left eye directly over the ball. Precisely aim the putter — most golfers are too casual and do not aim anywhere near their target.

B – On the backstroke, do not allow the putter to rotate open. Keep it square to the target line. Your stroke should be controlled by the rocking of your shoulders and therefore you should not have any wrist action or leg movement/rotation. The distance you hit should be controlled by the length of your backswing.
C – In your forward stroke, like the backstroke, you should keep the putter square while not using your wrists or turning your lower body. If you have done a correct stroke, the putter will accelerate but remain close to the ground and your followthrough should be as long as or longer than the backswing
