Golf Advice
BY Sam Snead

In putting, the grip should be
such that the back of the left
hand is square to the hole, while
the back of the right hand is
just the opposite. This will give
the use of the sense of touch in
finger tips for judging distance.
In putting get the line you
want by coming up to the ball
from the back, and studying the
route. Then be sure that your
putter blade is flat on the
ground and squarely across the
line so you can hit the ball
firmly in the middle of the
blade. That's the purpoe for
which your putter was designed.
Get your left eye right over
the ball. Have both toes even
on line parallel with that you
want the ball to travel when it
leaves the club. Hold your hands
in close.
Putt the ball almost off the
left toe, and keep the putter
blade close to the ground. Have
the blade stay square across the
line a long as you can, COM
fortably, on the back swing. On
a fast downhill putt, hold the
club a bit looser than when you
have to make an uphill putt.
