Module 2 focuses on one of the most important fundamentals in putting: aim.
This lesson explains why many golfers are not aimed where they think they are and how poor aim leads to inconsistency and missed putts.
The goal of this module is to help students retrain their eyes, improve alignment, and build better aim directly into their putting routine.
In this module, you’ll learn
— Why aim is the foundation of putting
— How optical illusions affect putting alignment
— Why most golfers misperceive their aim
— How golfers compensate for poor aim without realizing it
— Why “aim small, miss small” improves accuracy
— How to build proper aim into your routine
— Why a square putter face matters
— Why aim comes before the putting stroke
— Why the “eyes over the ball” myth is misunderstood
— How comfort and posture affect confidence
Key Areas Covered
Optical Illusions & Poor Aim
Learn why standing beside the golf ball creates a distorted visual perspective and why many golfers are not aimed correctly — even from four feet away.
Compensation For Poor Aim
Discover how golfers unknowingly manipulate the putting stroke to compensate for bad alignment.
Aim Small, Miss Small
Learn the “aim small, miss small” concept used throughout sports and how focusing on smaller targets improves putting accuracy.
Building Aim Into Your Routine
Learn a step-by-step aiming process designed to help make good aim automatic and repeatable.
The “Eyes Over The Ball” Myth
Learn why you may need your eyes over the ball briefly to aim properly — but not necessarily during the entire putting stroke.
Importance Of A Square Putter Face
Learn how even tiny putter face errors can cause missed putts from short distances. This ensures the putter is aimed directly at your target line at impact. Even tiny face-angle errors can cause missed putts.

This module includes simple at-home aiming drills.
Students are encouraged to practice using:
— A putter
— A golf ball with a visible line
— A small indoor carpet or putting mat
