Putting checklist

Got some good stuff out of a recent clinic with Geoff Mangum. Here's a quick summary for my own benefit (to help me remember). Others who have been to his clinics will recignize some or all of it.
  • Don't think. Thinking draws blood from the cerbellum. Cerbellum will produce if you provide blood.
  • Find the target spot by a "spider " assesment of the green. One target for any putt from a given distance. (Ondulations not taken into account).
  • Eyes pointing straight out of the head
  • Keep putter face perpendicular to target in impact zone.
  • Consider skipping practice swings. Cerbellum does not care.
  • Hold putter primarlily along lifeline of left hand. Right hand only for support. Multiple-overlap grip.
  • Start swing with left shoulder
  • Use "rear-eye-arrow-method" for aiming
EDIT August 2007: But one thing is more important than any of the above: RHYTHM
