Outside of putting, the aim marker serves little purpose... But what about putting?
I've read quite a few posts and not many seem to go into the details on this. I understand the lines and so on, I see them and can adequately apply them. However, should the marker always be placed on the same parallel (distance wise) as the hole? What calls for it to be placed much farther or shorter to the hole and what effects will miscalculating that have on the putt?
Some of the experts seem to suggest to not touch the marker at all (in which I would assume its left at the cup) and work the breaks on the bar (left and right of ding). There must be something I am missing in that as it seems almost blind...
