I'm not a big fan of spot lining cuz then your trying to hit that spot and will cause your speed to be misjudge cuz your focused on a shorter spot then the hole. I use to do it and it caused problems so i got into this routine.
I don't really understand the comment about the distance being off because of using the spot method. It may not have worked for you, but I have no problems at all with distance. The last thing I do before I hit the ball is look at the hole to "feel" the distance. The spot is used ONLY to get me aligned correctly. Once my stance is set, I never look at the spot again.
