I almost am afraid to start this thread, because the idea screwed up my golf stroke for the last 2 days! I apologize in advance if reading this messes up your natural swing.
I was watching School of Golf (Finding the Fairway episode) when Martin Hall talked about “The Quiet Eye” & how most good golfers keep their eyes focused on one spot during the backswing and up until to impact. That got me wondering about what my eyes were focused on during my putting stroke. I went down to my Birdieball green & sure enough, my eyes followed my putter head back and then forward as I swung the club.
I figured “this must not be good” so I started practicing with my eyes staying focused on the back of the ball until impact. Of course, immediately I couldn’t make anything from 6 feet ( my current practice distance). After a few hours of hard work, I’m getting my touch back but it’s a slow process. It still doesn’t feel natural yet.
How about you? What do your eyes focus on during your putting stroke? Do you think it’s a good idea to stay locked into one spot during the backswing & downswing? Do you think it matters?
