Many times when a golfer is missing putts to the right or to the left it has to do with the alignment of their eyes. This week I would like to share with you how you can determine if your eyes are aligned correctly over your putts and if they are not properly aligned, how to correct them.
To see if your eyes are aligned correctly all you need is some masking tape and a mirror. Place a strip of tape on the ground parallel to your feer and then place the mirror on the ground over the tape. Then take a golf ball and place it on top of the mirror. As you address your putt, your eyes in the mirror should be lined up with the tape. If they are this means you are properly aligned.
It is very important that your eyes are lined up with the tape. If your eyes are past the line, you will tend to align to the left and miss to the left and if your eyes are between your feet and the line you will then misalign to the right. This of course goes for right handed golfers and everything should be reverse if you are left handed.
