Abstract:
A method for a golfer to putt a golf ball over the surface of a green toward a hole comprises selecting a target line on the green, assuming a stance next to the ball facing the hole, addressing the ball by gripping the shaft of a putter and positioning it behind the ball with the hands generally facing toward one another in front of and facing the golfer's body, executing a backstroke by drawing the hands toward the body's vertical centerline to swing the arms rearwardly about an axis of rotation through the shoulders to take the putter head away from the ball along a rearward extension of the target line, and transitioning to and executing a forward stroke by moving the hands in a forward direction away from the golfer's body to swing the arms about the axis of rotation to stroke the putter head to strike the ball for rolling it along the target line.

Claim (Index 9):
The method of  claim 8  wherein the golfer positions the feet so that the distance to the center of the ball measured from where the imaginary line intersects the target line is in the range of about four to seven inches, and wherein the distance from the widest part of the shoe closest to the ball to a rearward extension of the target line is in the range of three to five inches.
