Default Re: Odd Golf Alignment and Vision Question

[ QUOTE ]

putting -- using the name or marking a line on the ball -- and the aligning the putts with that

other shots -- picking a point in front of the ball and aiming at that

[/ QUOTE ]

Solid advice.

You wanna laugh? See if your local pro shop has one of those lasar thingies to put on your putter face that points where you are REALLY aiming. It's a wonder the ball ever goes in the hole.

Wanna try something else radical? When you putt don't look at the ball, look at the hole. When you shoot a gun, do you look at the bullet (bad analogy)? What does a pitcher look at when he throws? Basketball player shooting free-throws. Ball or rim? Why is golf the only target related activity in which we look at the projectile and not the target?
