Yeah,putting for dough seems easy but most can't get a handle on simple putting basics. Short putting control is what's at stake and the best way to get a handle on it is to staart with what guys?
Tap-ins!!!
Tap-ins will give you a good indication of how much force your short putts
need on follow through more than long putts of 5 feet or more.Think about it,you're literally inches from the cup so it's safe to say that control of the follow through will tell the tale on if your speed is too much or just
right.
Practice tap-ins from 6 inches and see how much follow through you need.
Now,if you can drain 10 tap-ins,in a row move back another 6 inches and do
the same thing from a foot. If you miss go back until you get the last one.
Practice Tap-ins from 6 inches and a foot for 2 weeks 3 or 4 days a week
for 15 minutes.If you can't commit to this then quit. Yeah,quit.Why bother
playing.
Yeah, I'm a prick but who cares? Obviously not you. For those of you who do,practice your ass off fellow golfers.Okay after you've mastered tap-ins
and short putts from 6 inches and a foot keep going back in 6 inch increments. Practice for 2 weeks or as long as you need to.
It will get tougher as you go along.I would suggest using a good pro coach
at some point.It will help you even more than just solid practice daily.
Mastery of Short Putting and Tap-ins is what's vital here guys,with ball
control of the speed and putting path being more importaant than any body alignment bullshit.
Yeah, I keep repeating myself but if I don't you guys won't learn.
So focus on tap-ins and short putts.From 5 feet at the most.
Practice the above routine and go for it.You'll be heads above your buddies and some tour pros.
