Course is par 69

Practice your putting with your eyes closed concentrating on rhythm like a pendulum on a grandfather clock. Line the putt up with your eyes focused on the ball and then close them and keep them closed until well after the putter has struck the ball. I usually do this with a putt of about six foot on the putting green. You will find that your feel pn the greens will improve dramatically and you will keep your head still instead of looking up to early.
