Below is an awesome post from Pat O'Brien. You have to take time to read this and share with your friends. Let us know what you think?
This is an article I wrote for a Korean magazine called Golf Guide.
Understanding Alignment in Putting
This is the third article in a series on putting. This month’s topic covers how to aim your putter properly. It is very difficult to have a quiet mind and putt with confidence if that little voice in your head is questioning your alignment. I want to present to you a clear cut way to know where you are aiming, so you can make a free stroke.
There has been much discussion about eye dominance in putting and how it relates to aim. It has been my experience that there simply is not a direct correlation between the two. I have seen right eye dominant people misalign both to the left and right, as well as left eye dominant people. It may make for an interesting topic of conversation, but it does not factor into my teaching. What I focus on is eyeline and how to look at your target properly.
In this first picture, I want you to notice how unbalanced my body looks.
There is more weight on my right leg, my shoulders are tilted too much and my nose is behind my sternum. In this position, my eyeline is pointed to the right of my intended target line.
In these next two pictures, notice how symmetrical my body looks. My weight is evenly balanced and my spine is level, not tilted to the right. Because of this, my nose is right over my sternum.
My eyeline is now parallel to my aiming line, as well as my body lines.
