Weekly golf tip with Brad Redding (Nov. 15, 2016)
Bee line
A Bee Line is an elastic cord attached to two stakes. It has many uses. 1. It allows you to pick out an aiming point. You place one stake there and then stretch the cord back to where it is over the ball with the stake beyond the ball. The stakes keep the cord above the ball so you can place the putter under it. 2. You learn how to get the putter face square to the target line by getting the putter face square to the cord. 3. You can see how your stroke does not follow the cord straight back and through but rather on a slight arc. Inside the cord on the back stroke and inside on the follow through.
