Tour players do it. Even Tiger does it. More and more golfers draw straight lines on their golf balls to line up putts. There are devices that make this easier (Line-M-Up), but are they really worth 10 bucks?

Tip: Take the plastic safety ring from a 32oz bottle of Gatorade. You'll find it fits snugly around a golf ball. You now have your own line drawing device!
