i generally just use the words on the ball to lineup my putts because everytime i try to draw a line it ends up being really crooked.. because of the dimples. how do you guys manage to get a straight line?

prutkows,

There are tons of little gadgest for this, the most used is probably Line-m-up: http://www.uniquesportsaccessories.c...f7c174b6c25832 Tourstage also makes a nifty one as well. Or you could be like Tiger and check your nerves by freehanding it.

I use a plastic template that puts a line for directional line-up and has two perpendicular lines to help square the club face. I use it on the tee as well as when putting. It is not a given that you will square the putter face perpendicular to the directional line, if you have no guide. This thing has made a big difference for me over the years.

I got it from some site on the web, but I don't remember where. This one is similar...

I use the cardboard tube from a roll of toilet paper and a sharpie.

But doesn't it bother you that you are associating your game with a certain bodily function?

      Issue With Finger Aiming on Short Putts

      I don’t understand how standing is smaller than ball height or kneeling.

      ETSU men’s golf receives apology from Delta Airlines after baggage mishandling video goes viral SAN DIEGO, Calif. (WJHL) — The East Tennessee State University (ETSU) men’s golf team has received an apology from Delta Airlines after a video that has over 5 million views showed staff haph… I feel for the team! 15 years ago I changed planes in Atlanta on my way to Las Vegas. With a window seat on the Hartsville tarmac I could see my golf bag, in a hard case, tossed onto the conveyor belt, and overhang the edge, to the cargo section. As it rose, I saw it fall off from about 20’. Couldn’t see the impact. When I landed and retrieved the case, it was destroyed but the clubs were okay!   When I filed a claim with Delta they put me through an administrative nightmare and I finally gave up. Still have that case in my attic!
