Know Why You Missed it

Everyone can be a better putter. Sometimes it is just as simple as thinking you are the best. Many times golfers don’t improve because of not practicing the correct things. I see golfers all day long go to the putting green after hitting balls on the range for an hour and then spend only 2 to 5 minutes working on the putting green.

Here's my philosophy on putting: On any given hole when you reach the green in regulation, to get par, you need to get the ball in the hole with two more stokes (putts). So on a course of par 72, you get 36 putts. This should tell the golfer to practice at least a half of their time on putting.

I like to use drills with and without putting aids and by setting measurable goals for future practices. There are two areas of mechanics a golfer need to improve on, stroke and distance. Stroke has four reasons you will miss a putt which cares over to the full swing. The first reason is hitting it solid, second is path. The third is face angle and the last is everything else under the sun. The last reason is the only reason you want to miss the putt,. Yes you will still miss putts even when everything is perfect with path, face angle and hitting it solid. You can always learn from the last reason which is important to make you even better. Golfers need to first understand even with all the first three things correct that sometimes you still miss them – this confirms you are still a great putter.
