So I've never been all that great at putting, my main problem not being able to correctly correlate the distance to the hole with the strength of my swing. I also have a hell of a time determining if the face of my putter is lined up with where I want to hit the ball. Usually I stand fairly upright then lean a little over the ball, but the other week I tried something different. I bent my knees a lot, as if I was on my way to sit down to take a dump, and brought my head a foot or more closer to the ball. My friends kind of laughed at me, so I gave my butt a little wiggle for good measure and went for it. Lo and behold I put my first putt within a foot or two of the hole on nearly every green that round. It's like my control increased ten fold without additional practice or anything. Experts, what's going on here?
