Putting Alignment Woes?

A majority of missed putts stem from poor alignment.  While the ball is marked on the green, many golfers take the line on their ball and point it to their intended starting line/target to improve their aim.  

For others, this can be a distraction in their pre-shot routine.  There’s no right or wrong answer. However, a committed decision and an individual preference to consistently apply the alignment tool are essential.  

Try this alignment “trick” in your pre-putt routine to determine if it’s helpful for your game.
