If you don't mind looking at a line ( I don't) you aim it in the direction that you want the ball to fly or roll. So, as you putt, you would be looking down on the line. If you use the dot, you place the ball on the green or a tee so the dot is aimed between your feet. By the way, in case someone is wondering, it is not against the rules of golf to put a line all the way around a ball. Thanks, You confirmed my understanding of the procedure. I am a dot guy, not a striper, though. UPP in snowy Ohio Uppndownn View Public Profile Send a private message to Uppndownn Find all posts by Uppndownn
