This is great advice. I use this in ALL shots, including putting. I would add: this intermediate target should be as close to the ball as you can get it. It's always easier to aim at a blade of grass within 6 inches of the ball, rather than at a hole that's 40 feet away.

Seemingly, the better putters aim precisely and use a close intermediate target. The worst putters aim in a general area that's too far away from the ball.
