Should I use the left hand in this drill rather than the right? I also find that if I am having a bad day on the putting green I change to looking at the hole (on a straight putt). Moe Norman used to do that although he wasn't known for putting - mainly his accuracy from tee to green. It helps me to get the distance right and if you focus on the apex of a breaking putt that helps too. Cheers, Tom I use the left hand below the right in putting.

You seem to be more concerned with a players improvement than most. I don't get a whole lot of time to practice, but the tips you provide do help a lot.

I hope to get good results after a week or two on the course. Thanks Andy. Hi Andy,

Firstly does the direction in which the grass has been cut effect the final direction of your putt and secondly if it does how much movement can you expect?

I adapted the tips and was just amazed at the speed and control that i have just 2 days ago. my putter has been on and off for some time. in some days, I'll put maybe 27-29 but on off days. 3-putt is also very common. 2 days ago, I putted 25 with only a single 3 putt. guess what, the score 80 with one out of bound. thanks again:razz: I’m amazed at the result with the tips you just have imparted to the millions of golfer.

For anything under 12 feet I aim at the cup, trying very hard to get the speed that will stop the ball 12 inches past the hole. For longer putts I imagine a two foot circle around the hole and try to stop the ball inside that circle. It works more often than not, especially on very long puts and I have made great improvements this season.... Thanks for all the tips. I also tried the Worst Ball Round and found it VERY hard to do. If I had the time to practice this once a week I am sure that it would bring a quick improvement to my Tee to Green game. I think that it is true to say that since April, 2007, when I bought your program, I have not only made myself a much better player, but I have enjoyed the game more. Last Tuesday I played in a society round and I had a net 63...... off my normal handicap this would have been good for 43 points, but, off my society handicap I scored 48 points, that's right. 22 out and 26 in. I was almost embarrased !!! I played with a single figure man who was outdriving me by 50 yards, but I hit more greens than him and I chipped and putted better, which is how I did all the scoring. I would advise any high handicapper using your fantastic system to concentrate on the irons from 5 up and earn how to hit straight shots to the greens. It is the great leveller and improves scores quickest. Forget the long drives, not everyone can achieve it, but you can get much better from 150 yards in and that's where it counts most !! What a super feeling when you look up to see the ball heading straight for the flag!!! Learn how to chip with a 6 or 8 iron from just off the fringe. You get 25% to 30% air time and then a lovely roll to the hole....Forget the wedge from around the greens, it is TOO difficult for normal golfers to do. Sometimes the wedge does achieve great shots BUT sometimes it does not, (for no obvious reason) and that is unacceptable. Use the 6 or 8 iron, as dictated by the situation and watch those scores drop. It is a real winner. I have actually holed several similar shots this year. I find that it’s a ‘confidence thing’.

Unfortunately I have the putting yips. I've had them for several years but was able to control them by using a broomstick putter, however this does not work for me anymore. Unlike most people with the yips I have no problem with short puts but anything over 4 metres I find I am unable to take the club back without hitting the ground and even have windy putts. I love playing golf but I am reaching a stage where I will be forced to give it up. Have you any suggestions. Regards, Sylvia Hi Andy
