Looking at the hole on shorter putts.

Started experimenting with this today. Never pushed a putt again (that was my miss) and felt pretty much automatic from 6'. Anything further and I would spot line and look at the spot. Feltvreally good, what are some of your thoughts? I heard Johnny miller say he did this and won a tournament once.

I've tried it on the practice green successfully.  I think it is really a good drill to help smooth out a stroke since there is little to no visual  anticipation of the hit.  On the course I putt while looking in front of the ball which accomplishes much the same thing for me but I find that I can keep my head steadier that way.  I also find that when I putt at the hole that my shoulders open up and my miss becomes a push when I compensate, which is different than what you are experiencing  (funny game!).

That is funny haha I did pull a few, but it was less frustrating than pushing every putts from 2' - 20'.
