See how quick and easy that was? Now try to slowly duplicate that signature. Not so easy. The reason is, you're thinking about it and not tapping into your subconscious, the way you did when you signed the first time. Putting is no different. The best putters see their target line and then roll the ball on that line, just like you saw the paper and then signed it. The lesson is, keep it natural, and don't let yourself get bogged down by anything. We will incorporate this and basic tips for improving your setup and stroke. This method might really differ from what you do now, but it's the most effective way to roll the ball into the hole. 1. LEAD WITH YOUR LEFT If you shot a free throw with your right hand only, you'd realize you need your left hand as a guide. The same is true on the greens: The left hand is the direction hand, and it's just as impor- tant as the right. Practice putting left-hand-only (right), or have someone hold a club in front of your hands on the target line. Bump the grip with the back of your hand, not your fingers. 2. THINK ROLL, NOT HIT The key to distance control is to roll the ball, not hit it. To do this, take an open stance, your weight slightly favoring your left side and your putter shaft leaning toward the target. The open stance makes it easier to feel the left hand going out and down the target line. The forward lean offsets the 4 degrees of loft we recommend for a putter and helps the ball roll smoothly. When you make the stroke, keep the putterhead low to the ground past impact. The putter will ascend slightly, but don't try to hit up on the ball -- whoever told you to do that was wrong, because it makes the ball hop. 3. USE YOUR FINGERS Grip the putter any way you like, as long as it doesn't hinder your left hand's role in the stroke. But make sure to grip the club in your fingers. The shaft should run up the lifeline of your left hand for clubface control, but your fingers must contact the grip. You can drop the right forefin- ger down the shaft, but don't steer with it. Forget about what your palms are doing. Fingers equal feel. 4. SPOT THE SPOT If you stare at the ball too long at address, it's easy to get brain-locked and hit a bad putt. To avoid this, don't even look at the ball. Try looking at a spot just in front of the ball on your target line and rolling the ball over that spot. Put a tee in the ground in front of the ball when you prac- tice. This gets you thinking about the target line instead of the stroke--the opposite of what most golfers do. Another trick to free your mind is to picture the ball going in on the high side of the hole on a breaking putt. Most golfers miss low.

Situated on 64 acres in Henryville, PA, the newly renovated range offers 50 outdoor and covered shooting lanes. What makes Sunset Hill so unique is their appeal to experienced, novice and first-time shooters. The NRA Certified Instructors are super helpful and have thousands of online reviews to back it up. Let’s start with the Gallery of Rental Guns. Some ranges have a few rental guns, but at Sunset Hill, custom- ers are offered a smorgasbord of over 125 different makes, models and calibers of rifles, pistols, shotguns and air guns, including Fully Automatic AR-15’s and the “Thumper” 37mm Grenade Launcher. You (and your group) will be accompanied by an NRA Certified Instructor at all times who will teach you about each gun, how to handle it, how to load it, and, of course, how to fire it accurately. All of this done in a very safe and relaxing environment. As a bonus, they don’t charge for the professional instruction. You only pay for the ammunition sent down range from the guns you chose. Next up is the Private Member portion of the range. Here, members and Day Pass customers can enjoy their own firearms in a safe, supervised environment. With multiple membership options available, you are sure to find the plan that meets your budget. New member benefits are constantly being added and will soon include member only events, competitions, and training classes. Lastly, let’s talk about their groundbreaking firearm purchase plan. They call it Try, Buy & Train – a program specifically designed for novice and first-time buyers. At Sunset Hill Shooting Range, they believe people should be fully informed when purchasing their first firearm and then professionally trained on its safe use and storage. Recently, we have seen record numbers of people running out to their local gun store and buying whatever they have in stock. Sunset Hill’s approach is radically different. Come in and meet with one of their NRA Certified Instructors to discuss your needs and your level of firearms experience. With that information in mind, you can try any of their rental firearms to find the one(s) that suits you best. (They keep new and used duplicates of most of their rental guns in stock for your purchase.) Once you have completed your purchase, your NRA Cer- tified Instructor will take you back out to range and teach you how to safely load, unload, operate, store and clean your new gun. The rental experience and training are FREE OF CHARGE with the purchase of a new or used firearm. (Included training is 30 minutes. Addi- tional training available) If you do not wish to purchase a firearm at the time of your visit, you simply pay for the guns you shot at the Rental Gallery pricing. Either way, it’s a good time! So, if you or your group are looking for an awesome way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, bachelor or bachelorette party, or if you are just looking for an epic experience, head out to Sunset Hill Shooting Range. Appointments and completing the Online Waiver are suggested. For more information, please visit their website at www.sunsetrange.com, or call them at 570-629-3981.
