Abstract: A method of putting a ball calls for a golfer to use only one hand (29?) or both hands to grasp a putter (10?). The golfer grasps a grip (12?) of the putter (10) with one hand so that the proximal end of the grip extends above his wrist (25?) in one embodiment, and to or above his elbow (29?c) in another embodiment. In both embodiments the proximal bears against the arm associated with this one hand (29?). The golfer stands upright to one side of a target line (14?a), with his body facing in the same general direction as the target line and both his feet (35?, 36?) on the side of the target line and pointing in the same general direction as the target line (14?a) and positioned nearby the ball (15?). Most of his body is on the one side of the target line (14?a) and the arm (29?a) from which the hand extends is the arm (29?a) furthest from the target line (14?a).

Abstract: A method of putting a ball calls for a golfer to use only one hand (29′) or both hands to grasp a putter (10′). The golfer grasps a grip (12′) of the putter (10) with one hand so that the proximal end of the grip extends above his wrist (25′) in one embodiment, and to or above his elbow (29′c) in another embodiment. In both embodiments the proximal bears against the arm associated with this one hand (29′). The golfer stands upright to one side of a target line (14′a), with his body facing in the same general direction as the target line and both his feet (35′, 36′) on the side of the target line and pointing in the same general direction as the target line (14′a) and positioned nearby the ball (15′). Most of his body is on the one side of the target line (14′a) and the arm (29′a) from which the hand extends is the arm (29′a) furthest from the target line (14′a).
