Stephen Sweeney's trick

GOLF Top 100 Teacher Stephen Sweeney shows how to check putter aim using your phone and a straight edge.

Phone alignment method

A golf course with a round logo reading Golf Teachers Summit, GOLF Top 100 Teachers in America, November 1-4, 2026, Omni La Costa, Carlsbad, CA.

Set your phone against the putter face to see where it is aimed on the right edge.

“If I go ahead and set the back of my phone up to your putter face, and you come back and look down that line, you can see [the face aimed] on the right edge”

Straight edge technique

Use a scorecard or straight edge on the ground to align with your putter face for better aim.

“If you have a friend with you at the golf course, have them put a square edge, a scorecard or something like that, down against your putter face, and then get into a position from there”

Improved putts

This method helps players see where their putter face is aimed and make more putts.
