Good comments. I’ve got a relative that is always scooting back everybody’s ball that is within 3 feet of the hole. Annoying!

I’ve been decelerating through the ball, will change that from now on.

Thanks!

Earlier today 10 points after 8 holes – due to 6 missed 4-6 putters – so no turkey this week -

then 2 x 25 – 30 footers for par and birdie….almost put the round back on track……but fine as the long puts were by next week I will have spent time on the 2 – 4 – 6 routine.

Many thanks for very opportune advice

I wish all golfing advice were as clear and concise as this. I can already feel my anxiety over short putts ebbing away, and I haven’t even tried the drill yet; but you can bet I will, starting tomorrow. Thank you very much.

Thank you, I will get to the practice green an half hour before next round, it’s so obvious when one is reminded “Once again”

And, remember not to take the putter too far back – great advice – as always.

A good tip for putting is stand a good meter from the hole line yourself up keep looking at your ball close your eyes stoke the ball keep going until you start droping them you learn to feel the green with your stroke.

Happy Golfing

Makes a lot of sense, I tried this and it really works. I am getting a much better role on the ball and much straighter, now all Ineed are better reading of the greens. Thanks

Thanks very much for your simple but insightful advice,which I
find motivating me to get out there just to hear the special sound
of a ball as it drops into the hole.

I had a 2+ year absence from golf. As my swing started to return, I would be walking off the 18th feeling better about my game until I got to the 19th and totaled my score and putts. So concerned was I about my long stroke, I had forgotten the good habit of the putting green, always saying to myself something like “That’s OK, you hit a great 5-iron,” or some other feel-good excuse for missing that 4-footer (again). I had taught my sons the game from the green backward to the tee, but some of the best lessons in golf have to be re-learned. Thanks for the reminder. The least complicated stroke in golf is the putting stroke and one is expected to use it 36 times per round. I use the driver only 14 times on my preferred course. The math speaks for itself.

Good advice! Something else that helps me is to talk to myself – On every put I say (softly), ” straight back, straight through.” This really keeps me focus on what I’m doing.

I have heard that golfers spend less than 19% of their practice time on the putting green. I have reversed this on a monthly basis and have seen some (not 100%, yet) improvement,

Good advice from Pat.

Thanks
