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.
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
Great vid as always! So shawn, going to canadian open this week? You can not have far to that competition it is almost the same block
Yes; I will try to make it this Sunday;
I preferred when it was in September; I am just so swamped at this time of year!:)
Thanks for the comment, Shawn
thanks a lot man i’ll try it
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!
Thanks for the nice comment;

shawn, I want to really thank you for this great video. I was terrible at lag-putt and have tried numerous tips/training aids before and none of them really work. Your video helps me cut 4-5 putts each round. Thanks!
I can see the logic in this for the longer putts but I dont know if I can trust my stroke enough. Ill practice this in my living room. I know a guy who uses this technique and he wins putting competitions all the time. Im so anxious about my putting that I was actually following the putter head as i was making the backswing. You can imagine the sort of results that was getting me. Ill try bringing this into my game and will let you know the result. Another 5 star video as always! Thanks Gerry.
I used this yesterday in a competition, ive been practicing it indoors for a week or so. My putting was pretty poor so I just thought what harm can it do? I tell you guys what… I used it for long putts on the last number of holes and they were up there with the best long putts ive ever hit. I even holed one. I just hope I can use it under pressure. For me under pressure means the holes b4 I destroy any chances of having a good round
Great tip Shawn. I will continue with this one!

Before a golfer keeps his eye on the hole would he not have to have a very good repeating putting swing or else i could see balls going in every direction?
By the way your video are excellent keep up the good work!
Mike
Hey Mike;
Of course; that is why I have the basic putting video called “golf pro lesson putting secrets”; and in my dvd I have a full section on the putting stroke and reading greens.
Thanks for the comment! Shawn
sean, you are a god. I have watched nearly all of your videos and my game has improved from a handicap 36 to 7. Pretty much overnight.
That is great man! You must me taking your buddies’ money right now; you know I make 10% of my students on course income right?
LOL just kidding! I am very happy things are going well! Shawn
this is the best golf lesson ive ever seen. thanx a lot shawn
Hi Shawn. I’ve always felt very uncomfortable following the advice to keep the eyes on the ball. I feel much better (and putt better) when I either look at the hole (or the break point) for longer putts and use peripheral vision to look at the ball and the hole for shorter putts. I’ve never tried not looking at the ball at all, but I get your point. I wonder if this can apply to full shots?
This is tough on full shots as you will have an obstacle with your head going back and will not complete the backswing which is so important; but what you can do is look at a blade of grass behind the ball and then focus on the feel of the swing to the target; see “golf pro lesson eye ball” and “golf pro lesson how to repeat your practice swing” and also “golf pro lesson routine on course” to have more options; you will also love the section in my dvd that talks about blindfolded practice…
Hi Shawn. I am a total beginner golfer. I’m 14 and iv’e only been on a driving range once. I was wondering if you have any videos that show a complete swing
best putting advice ever!
Wow. Hours and hours of putts on practice greens and I still couldn’t putt. 6 minutes and 45 seconds, and I’m a much better putter! Awesome tip, Shawn.
You bet!
All my 154 videos start with the words “Golf Pro lesson…” and then add whatever subject you want like “golf pro lesson sand” or “Golf Pro lesson Driver”; you can see a full listing on my website on the “you tube Shawn’ page; Shawn
Great bid shawn!
Have taken up golf after playing lawn bowls. Very similar concept to yourp utting video, you see the line, deliver your bowl down the line, if your weight is right then you get close to the jack! Was struggling so much with putting I came across this video and eureka! However, you HAVE to trust your stroke and ignore the negative comments. Everyone I play with tell me this is not the way to putt. I’m an improving 19 handicap and I’ll keep you posted of my progress
i started doing this last year and my buddies had lots of fun laughing at me…until the worst putter quickly became the best of the four of us. this year lots of questions on how it works
Clemshaw puts it in words…..IT WORKS.
Wow, that is a very powerful visual. I am convinced it will work.
