Training |
1 |
Assume stance and ensure gaze is located on back of ball. |
|
|
2 |
After setting up, fix gaze on hole. |
|
|
3 |
Make one to three fixations towards the hole. |
|
|

The final fixation is the QE to the back of the ball with an onset prior to the beginning of backstroke and a duration of 2-3 sec. |
2-3 sec can seem like a long time to the participants. You can time them until they get it right. |
|
5 |
Do not look at the club head during the putt. |
|
|

QE should remain on the green for 200-300 msec after the golf club contacts the ball. |
Make sure the trainee understands that he or she needs to look at the green that is under the golf ball. |
