Looking up too soon is the main reason golfers miss short putts. When you peek, your head moves, which often causes the putterface to open or close–just a touch, but that’s all it takes. With short putts, there’s not much room for error: If you start the ball off line, you’ve missed the putt. Focus on two points.
First, aim the putterface precisely. After you read the break, make every putt a straight putt by looking only at the starting line.
Second, keep your eyes down until you hear the ball with your left ear drop into the cup. You’ll keep your head perfectly still.
