Close Your Eyes to Improve Putting Feel

Close Your Eyes to Improve Putting Feel

There are almost as many putting styles as there are golfers.
However, two basic fundamentals that most excellent putters
employ are (1) very light grip pressure, and (2) equal speed and
length of the backswing and forward swing. With these two
thoughts in mind (and in hand), proceed to the practice green and
close your eyes the instant you strike the first putt. Now, with
eyes still closed, and relying strictly in how the putt felt,
determine if the ball is right or left and long or short of the
hole. Continue to close your eyes on each putt, estimate the
result, then check your judgment. By practicing this, and
varying the distances, you will surprise yourself with rapidly
improved putting
