It is a great help to be able to turn your head while standing over a putt to see straight down the line to the hole. For this your eyes should be directly over the ball. To find the position, hold a ball on the bridge of your nose and then drop it. Where the ball lands is where you should place it in your stance.

Making sure your muscles are free from tension is essential before you make any putt. Relaxation promotes feel and touch — two vital qualities for good putting. If you struggle to achieve this, a simple exercise might solve the problem.

Before you address the ball, rest your putter against your leg and allow your arms to hang freely. Loosely shake your hands a couple of times to relieve any muscle tightness — when it comes to standing over any putt you should feel nicely relaxed.

Out of Bounds: Try saying this Irish Blessing to yourself after missing a two-foot putt:

May flowers always line your path and sunshine light your day.

May songbirds serenade you every step along the way.

May a rainbow run beside you in a sky that’s always blue.

And may happiness fill your heart each day your whole life through.
