Putting

Remember:
  • a putt that didn’t pass the hole never had a chance to fall in
  • the faster the ball is travelling when it reaches the hole, the smaller the space for the ball to fall into and a putt travelling the correct speed has a 4.5 inch area to enter
  • it is much easier to determine the amount a putt will ‘break’, from underneath the hole
  • pick a target line, commit your aim to your target and simply get the ball rolling on that line
  • take a good look at your target and let your subconscious (right brain) determine how long a stroke to make
  • in order to putt further, simply lengthen the stroke as opposed to hitting the ball harder
  • for uphill putts, imagine a target beyond the hole
  • for downhill putts, imagine a target in front of the hole
  • when aiming, start crouched from behind the ball (combats visual parallax) and select a point just in front of the ball on the intended target line - then when setting up over the ball, you will have a clearer perception of where to aim
  • get the ball rolling ('roll the tire' analogy) as soon as possible
These basic tips will ripple through the entire game – be it from 2 feet or 200 yards. Picture where you want the ball to be and you will increase your chances of execution by a factor of ten!
Have fun practicing!!!
