Cameron Smith makes his living on the PGA Tour around the greens — an impressive skill, considering how difficult that is nowadays.

Smith’s true brilliance around the greens happens on the surface itself. The Australian ranked near the top in just about every putting statistic.

All of which is to say, it’s probably a good idea to take an especially close look at his putting.
Analyze his pre-shot routine... he doesn't take any practice strokes, but instead he takes one long look at where he wants the ball to enter the hole. It also allows him to visually evaluate the entire length of the putt.

Most players will just glance at the hole... It’s a great example of how he uses his eyes to focus on the target and keeps them there for about 3 seconds.”

Taking a longer look at the hole can also accomplish two more things: It can bring you a momentary sense of calm before you hit the putt, and more crucially, it can help sharpen your focus at your target.

At least in theory. But if it’s good enough for one of the best putters on the planet, it’s at least worth a try for the rest of us.
