  (1).   Set up square to the target with the shoulders, hips, knees and feet square to the target line.   (2).   Keep the top of both forearms square to the target line.   (3).    Set the putterface  at the  center of your stance with the putter just ahead of it.   (4).    Maintain relaxed arms  and shoulders with the elbows resting against your sides.   (5).    The putter shaft should lean a bit forward which will result in solid contact with the  ball.   (6).   Use your dominant eye to align yourself to the target, this will result in  better  putting accuracy.    

A good setup is critical for all golf shots but it's especially true for putting.   Spend the time to achieve the proper putting setup and you will notice the difference in your scores.
