ABSTRACT:
Method of putting a golf ball using a putter having a club head of any legal configuration, and a shaft of sufficient length that its end can be held by the golfer against, or pressed into, the armpit or the area at the front of the shoulder, which area includes the pectoralis minor muscle (collectively “point of contact”) on the target side of the player's body. The actual length of the shaft will be determined by the distance between the point of contact and the ground when the player has assumed a stance of his choosing. The target side arm is substantially fully extended, and the shaft rests against or is directly adjacent to that arm. The target side hand grasps the club with the target side arm at substantially full extension. The other hand can grasp the grip or the shaft, or rest on or grip the target side hand or arm, at any point and in any fashion.
