Question

I always doubt my line of putt because i have astigmatism even with prescription glasses on. any suggestions?

Answer 1

On your average golf ball there will be some label saying something like "super long" "power distance"  or whatever marketing thing they want.  Draw a line over it with a Sharpie, and when you mark your ball on the green, line it up with where you want to aim.  Hey lining a putt up is never that easy if it was everyone would be scratch.

Answer 2

Play as much break as you can and lag it. If you happen to pull it, it will still go in because you have hit it harder. also read the putt from all angles. the Johnny miller fall line really works on straightish putts.

Answer 3

I had that problem and got contacts for astigmatism.. They work Great

Answer 4

same case with me.  I just pick a tiny target immediately in front of my ball, say about 6 inches and align everything there.

Answer 5

Cross your eyes, and aim for the hole in the middle.

(This advice works well on dates, too.)  :)

Answer 6

Not an eye expert, but since glasses don't seem to correct it maybe you should consider the Lasic surgery?  Otherwise ever play tennis?  Or go fishing?

Answer 7

Having an astigmatism is not your problem  I also suffer from that and dont seem to doubt my line.  If your not doing this already, try it.  Read the putt from behind the ball and then read it from the cup back to your ball.  Both these methods work.  The doubt you have may be from something else.  Work on the speed of your putts.  If you get the speed right, you can guarantee no more than two putts.

Answer 8

Talk with your optometrist about it.  My brother got new glasses since he was having trouble seeing the line.
