Golf Tip of the Month
Make more short putts simply by improving your routine.
Short putts should be easy, right? It’s precisely that expectation that makes it more difficult to execute a good stroke. It’s easy to make a good stroke when you don’t expect to make the putt, but tension sets in when you expect to make a putt. Here’s a simple change to your routine that will help you eliminate tension in your putting stroke.
When you set up to the ball, let your eyes move to the hole for a beat or two. Then find the ball with your eyes. As soon as you find the ball, swing the putter. Any longer than about a second with your eyes focused on the ball creates tension and destroys your natural rhythm. This tip should help you keep your rhythm and make more putts.
