give me alittle insight on using both sides of the brain while putting.

Firstly, no one is truly one sided unless they've had half their brain removed. But, most people's thoughts are weighted (sometimes heavily) on one side. Here are some characteristics that I've read, attributable each side:

Left Brain (Right Handed):

Prefer Classical Music
Prefer things like instructions to be done verbally
Good at math
Like to read
Very Logical
Dog lovers
Don't enjoy clowning around
Can't be hypnotized
Usually remember things only specifically studied
Need total quiet to read or study
Like to read realistic stories
Like to write non-fiction
Prefer individual counseling
Enjoy copying or tracing pictures and filling in details
Also like to read action stories
Usually rational
Usually do things in a planned orderly way
If you have to answer someone's question, you won't let your personal feelings get in the way
Good at algebra
Can remember verbal material
Almost never absent minded
Like to tell stories but not act them out
Can think better sitting down
Like to be a music critic
Attentive during long verbal explanations
Prefer well structured assignments over open ended ones
Read for specific details and facts
Skilled at sequencing ideas
Likes to be Organized

Right Brain (Left Handed):

Prefer rock music
Prefer visual instructions with examples
Good at sports
Good at art
Cat lovers
Enjoy clowning around

Like to read fantasy and mystery stories
Can listen to music or TV while studying
Like to write fiction

Fun to dream about things that will probably never happen
Enjoy making up own drawings and images
Good at geometry
Like organizing things to show relation
Can memorize music
Occasionally absentminded
Like to act out stories
Enjoy interacting effectively with others
Think better when lying down
Become restless during long verbal explanations
Enjoy creative storytelling
Prefer to learn through free exploration
Good at recalling spatial imagery
Read for main details
Skilled in showing relationships between ideas
Preference for summarizing over outlining
Solve problems intuitively
Very Spontaneous and unpredictable

philosophical

So, that should give you some idea where you stand.

When you hear people talking about putting, they talk about being linear (left sided) or non-linear (right sided). But, I've always been a good putter, and I see both the line and the curve.

It seems as if the left brained thinker would be able to build a great routine and mechanically sound stroke. But, they might not believe that they're going to make everything, as logic would tell them that they keep missing putts. They might have difficulty seeing the 3-D topography.

On the other hand, the right brained thinker might think he was going to make everything, no matter how many putts he had already missed (dreamer). They may see the putt in it's totality, because they see the 3-D lay of the land. Stroke may be based solely on feel with less regard for sound mechanics.

Sorry for the verbosity.
