Keeping Your Eyes Over The Ball
By Jeff O'Brien
When your body is properly positioned your eyes will be directly over the ball, maybe a little in front or behind, but still directly over the ball or target line.

The target line extends through the ball and to your target this is the line your ball should follow after you make your stroke.

It is actually better for your eyes to be behind the ball so you can look along the line to the hole without twisting your head.

If your eyes are too far in front of the ball it puts your weight forward and will usually cause you to use a more downward blow on the ball.

Positioning your eyes properly over the target line allows for the preferred straight-back and straight-through stroke, which keeps the putter directly over the target line for the majority of its path.

There are a couple of test you can give yourself to verify that your eyes are in the right position, you should do this before you find yourself having problems with your putting.

Take your normal position with putter in hand, after you are

Kim sets Congressional record with a 62
Anthony Kim is regaining a lot of his strength and a little of his swagger. He can only hope his record start Thursday at the AT&T National in Bethesda, Md., will allow him to get rid of some frustration built up from a year of not winning. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mBixs5cJSBISosnlhfahmrja-OY/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mBixs5cJSBISosnlhfahmrja-OY/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mBixs5cJSBISosnlhfahmrja-OY/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mBixs5cJSBISosnlhfahmrja-OY/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>

Saucon Valley's Old Course could use some sun
Golf course superintendents have kinships, not only with their border collies but also with each other. They understand the dread that red and yellow patches on radar can inflict. That's why Jim Roney felt such empathy last week for Craig Currier, superintendent of Bethpage State Park on Long Island, every time a wet and weary Currier was interviewed during the U.S. Open. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/VYsvfAQWAPZDeI45zMs7Tyr3qrU/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/VYsvfAQWAPZDeI45zMs7Tyr3qrU/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/VYsvfAQWAPZDeI45zMs7Tyr3qrU/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/VYsvfAQWAPZDeI45zMs7Tyr3qrU/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>
David Duval relying on resilience and confidence
Strong showing at U.S. Open comes after 116 tournaments without a top 10 finish. <br/><br/> -- David Duval has been written off so many times, it seemed natural to grab a ball-point pen after his disaster on the third hole Monday at the U.S. Open. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/8DWkv4v_F3j9XAie7qj8SgnVoUw/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/8DWkv4v_F3j9XAie7qj8SgnVoUw/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/8DWkv4v_F3j9XAie7qj8SgnVoUw/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/8DWkv4v_F3j9XAie7qj8SgnVoUw/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>

A fade on Black
Ricky Barnes' six-shot lead melts away, creating tie at the top with Lucas Glover. <br/><br/> -- Halfway through his third round, Ricky Barnes had a six-shot lead and a smile to match in the U.S. Open. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mGvobLoRjDJ1XmCoYevKx4LDosI/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mGvobLoRjDJ1XmCoYevKx4LDosI/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mGvobLoRjDJ1XmCoYevKx4LDosI/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mGvobLoRjDJ1XmCoYevKx4LDosI/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>

in place, throw the putter away and take another ball out of your pocket, hold it to the bridge of your nose and drop it.

If you are in the proper stance, the ball should hit the ball on the ground or right next to it on either side of the target line. The second method involves a mirror and a thin roll of colored adhesive tape.

Place a line of tape down the center of the mirror extending at least a foot past both edges of the mirror.

Cover the mirror with a piece of paper, place a ball on the tape right at the edge of the mirror and take your stance.

Take aim at a point further down the tape, when in your stance have someone remove the paper.

If you are in the proper position, your eyelashes should be visible on either side of the tape, but your eyeballs should be covered by the tape.

Using either of these tests will allow you to keep your eye position correct if you continue to use them occasionally during your practice sessions.
