Symptom: Inconsistent putting, putting yips, putts that just barely miss the hole even though you swear you had the break figured out.
Description. Put a straight line around the equator of your golf ball with a permanent marker. After you mark your golf ball on the green, replace it on the green by aligning the golf ball line to your intended putting line.
Why it works: Since the rules of golf allow you to mark and clean the golf ball on the putting green, take advantage of the opportunity to aim the golf ball on your line. The visual aid of the golf ball line makes it easier to hit your putts on line, and avoid swiping or hooking your putts as you strike your ball with your putter. Your putter has some sort of alignment aid on it, like a line, or some white circles that represent balls, or something similar, right? Why not extend this concept to the golf ball?
As you watch the pros on TV, you will see that almost all of them do this, each and every time. Some of them are quite obsessive about it, in fact. I guess if I were playing golf for a living I might be too.
Anyway, the whole idea of drawing a line on the ball is to aid in your aiming and setup. When you hit the putt, be sure you don't let the line wobble, and please make sure your ball finishes past the hole (or in the hole of course!).
