Great Putting!

In your pre-shot routine don’t take your eyes off your target. If you find yourself looking down you are probably thinking about mechanics and not playing golf. Let your eyes gauge how far to bring the putter back and calibrate your length at hand. Commit and go!

Lean left and stay left!!! There is no weight shift in putting. Watch how you begin to control your distance. Practice swinging your arms back and forth without shifting your body.

Squeeze your elbows together as you putt. It will connect your hands and arms to your shoulders, making them work as one unit.

Where are you aimed? 99% of my students aim poorly, Pro’s included. Practice with a line or a string to a pre-determined target. You will be amazed.

Let go of negative thoughts and the past! No self victimizing. Mind on target and line.

Good luck!!
