I found a Putting article on the internet that just blew me away. It made Putting incredibly simple. he found the answer when he was playing a game of pool. Think about when you line up a ball when playing pool, isn't Putting similar. Aren't you targeting a line shot? Darell McKissick went home and went to work on doing just that. How to get to the root of the real way to Putt like a master.
Darell showed others how to gain confidence when putting literally, for pennies on the dollar. Wouldn't you want to learn how to have no fear when Putting. Not worrying about missing a Putt? Darell has shown people of many ages how to putt better. Even a fellow who's been a golfer for over 50 years!
Darrel then started selling his targetputting course online to a lot of golfers who have had great success. Darrel has also learned and showed others techniques that will take your short putting failures and slowly
turn your short putts into success. I decided to interview Darell on two aspects of putting that will get you thinking differently, and practice in away that makes you focus your putting, and result in greater on green
victories. I've also included a short little blurb from Darell below this paragraph on the target putting course and what it can do for you.
My sole claim to fame in Golf is being the creator and Author of Target Putting. I really consider it one of my greatest accomplishments in life, and it has helped a lot of people based on the feedback and less than 1% refund rate over the last 8 years. I shoot in the mid 70's when I get to play, and I went from being the worst yipper you have ever seen to the best putter I know because of what is in that book. I always get a kick out of customers who say I am a "genius"!!! All I did was find a better way to putt.
Here's the interview on Putting with Darell:
MG: When a Golfer Practices Putting, if they practice short putting one day and long putts the next, will it help them focus more each putting practice session,and get better faster as a putter?
DM: No it will not. The fastest way to be a good putter is to master one distance, say 10 feet, and spend the vast majority of your time working from that distance. Putting practice sessions, at least on the practice green, should be focused and quick. By focused, I mean hitting a lot of putts from the same spot to the same hole. That way you are working on the same putt every practice session and can see your improvement. Mind you, that gets boring pretty quick. About 15 minutes is sufficient, and then you can go on and put around the green for the rest of the time to work on your feel.
Bottom line, you can work on your short putting, or your long putting, but you should avoid mixing up the two in practice. Get good at ten feet first. Those are the putts that make your score. As you improve in that area, your long putts will also get better because you have a base to work off of. You know exactly how hard to hit a ten foot putt, and that makes it a lot easier to hit a twenty footer.
MG: Do you think that Tap-in Putts and Short Putts less than five feet are ignored by most golfers?
Reason I ask is I see a lot of pros who focus on these Putts in practice and teaching. Any tips on this
Darrel, or possibly a short routine?
DM: I do, but I don't. Most golfers have very little time to practice, whereas the pros do it all day long. If you have two hours a week to practice, it doesn't make sense to spend that time working on short putts. It's not nearly as thrilling as crushing a driver over the trees at the end of the range.
Another thing is that most pros and teachers rely on a technically perfect stroke that is to be used only by the most gifted players on the best and fastest putting surfaces the world has to offer. They are playing a different game for different reasons under different conditions. It has been said that if you want to make the score go up in a PGA Tour tournament, slow down the greens. That always gives the best putters in the world fits because they have to hit the ball harder and the surface is less consistent. The softer the stroke, the easier it is to get the ball on line with it, at least on a normal putt with little break.
The average guy needs to focus on what happens after the ball is hit, not what happens during the stroke. Putting is not about making a perfect stroke. It is about rolling a ball down a preset line to a preset target at a predetermined speed. If that is your mindset, putting is easy. If you want to make putting hard, focus on making a good stroke. If an average guy wants to improve their putting, working on the stroke is no way to do that. All they need to do is change the fundamental approach from making a good putting stroke to making the putt and it will happen automatically. That's what Target Putting does.
