Golf Putting Tips: Stop Peeking And Sink Every Putt

PGA Teaching Pro Bob Menzies explains how peeking too early during a putting stroke causes unwanted body rotation and an outside-in path. By keeping your eyes locked on a dime under the ball after impact, you keep your lower body quiet and hit far cleaner, straighter putts.

• Keep your eyes locked on the dime beneath the ball even after striking the putt.
• Peeking too soon forces early body rotation and opens your shoulders.
• Early rotation leads to an outside-in path that cuts across the ball, causing missed putts left and right.
• Maintaining a quiet lower body ensures better face control and consistent start lines.
