I cut my handicap by 10 strokes using guide from golfswingguide(.)info . Best guide!
Anthony is a great player in the making, but I’m sorry, he’ll never be able to surpass Tiger in Majors and Tour wins. Unfortunately, it’s all relative! LOL!

I read this tip in a book of Golf Magazine tips and have put it in and out of use for a while. As usual, you explain how it works in a much more engaging, much better way! Putting while looking at the hole is an awesome tip as long as you TRUST your stroke. It helps to have a smooth pendulum stroke already built that you can count on. Thanks for presenting this tip and keep it up! I love your videos!

After 34 putts on Friday and 35 yesterday I decided to try your tip on the practice green this afternoon. It worked very well on putts of all lengths. I haven’t had that much fun with the flatstick in a while. I don’t know if I’ll use your method on the course but it certainly helped me regain some confidence. I think my putting routine had gotten stale and looking at the hole engaged my brain in a new way. Thanks Shawn

Tried this technique and I one putted the first four holes. most greens left me with a tap in second putt. Yes, this method worked for me.

Thanks for the comment;
Not exactly! The head is still steady while I look at the hole isn’t it? The key is to maintain the focus on the target throughout the stoke. You can choose to use this technique or the conventional one as they are both good; this is another option that is very much needed for many golfers however…Shawn

Dear Shawn,

Dear Shawn,
Love your videos ! I have a question though on this technique. Gary Player on “Playing Lessons with the pros” says the most important thing amateurs can do is to LISTEN for the ball to drop in the hole, but he says “they can’t do it”. The point is, it keeps the head still. It seems to help me.
But your video is in contradiction with this philosophy. What do you think??
Thanks! Keep the videos coming…

Great tips and vid as always, Mr. Clement. Haha, you missed those putts because the coin interfered with the path of the balls; otherwise, they would’ve been great putts.

Thank you Shawn, …
Thank you Shawn,very much. Started golfing a year ago and would shoot 58+ on our local 9 hole course. Thanks to you I’m shooting 36-34 (par 32)and just bought a new set of Taylormade blades which I’m loving.Down side being that friends wont play me anymore cuz they never win. Keep up the good work Shawn! Love your videos.

Shawn, if you get a chance check out Fred Shoemaker’s book on putting. A lot of stuff along these lines. Really improved my putting tremendously.
A great drill: Stand some distance away from the hole. Close your eyes and try to walk up to the hole and stick the handle of your putter in the hole. EVERYBODY comes up short when they first try this (and most start walking very slowly as they get nearer to the hole). It helps you learn to stay connected to the target.

There is an LPGA Tour player who uses this technique every time she putts. I just cannot recall her name right now.

Thanks Shawn. I’m a 9 handicap, half of which is the result of chronic poor putting. I’m going to try this. Maybe all of it won’t work for me but maybe some of it will. I’m in a place where I’m willing to try anything. I enjoy your teaching, If I was a little closer I come take a lesson.

You have been reading the good stuff haven’t you!
Can’t wait to start exchanging comments with you in the next 2-3 months as I intend to make a few videos on each chapter of the original manuscript! Yes, it will take a few times out in the pressure cooker to trust this method; I came back to it at Pinehurst #2 when my caddie kept pointing to specific spots to putt to and I putted very solidly with 27 putts for the day…Thanks for your comment! Shawn

Shawn, do you …
Shawn, do you personally putt looking at the target all the time like you just demonstrated?
September 28th, 2008 at 10:15 pm

Shawn, the real key in this lesson is trust. In order to do this well, self #1 has to be shut up so that total trust can be given to self #2.

I think I’ll adopt this tip for lag putting. For anything inside of 20 feet i think i’ll stick to my normal routine: lining up the line on the ball with the the aim line, focusing on taking my putter back to the right distance (6 inches, 12 inches, etc), and follwing through.
One thing I’d like you to point out, Shawn: “Accerlerate through” is equivocal. People can’t “see” acceleration. The only way to do it is to have a folllow through that is longer than the back swing.
