This document provides instructions for properly executing a putt in golf. It outlines that the golfer should take a stance with their eyes over the ball and their shoulders and putter face square to the target line, with the ball positioned off their left toe or instep. From this balanced stance, the putting stroke should involve a low and slow takeaway, accelerating through the ball toward the intermediate target, and following through down the target line, with deceleration being the major cause of missed putts. A shortened backswing can help create a more accelerating stroke and follow-through.
