Phil Mickleson---Why You Should Learn Putting From Him

Good old Phil Mickleson keeps on chuggin' along. I was watching the Cadillac Championship and Phil was 10 under when I was watching him last night.

But one thing that amazes me is Phil always practices short putting even in between holes if he has a chance. Yeah, I know you're thinking it's easy as pie. Hardly. Take a look at golfers who have issues with 3 to 5 footers,which are still considered short putts.

They are tougher than you think,and the simplest shots are sometimes the most difficult,not the long putts of 10 feet or more. Because all you're doing is getting the ball as close as you can without going
way past the cup,and there by getting a short putt to either par the hole,or less.

So,do like Phil does on the practice greens and do some short putts of 5 feet or less for 5 minutes. Think about that for a minute. If all you did was 5 minutes per day of short putting practice 7 days a week. That's 35 minutes a week,and for 52 weeks that's 1,820 minutes of short putting practice a year.  All from just short putting practice just 5 minutes a day.

What, you don't have 5 minutes a day?

Think about it this way. Most golfers,will never keep up practicing short putting 30 minutes to an hour a day. It will never happen. Even pros don't. Actually I should do an interview with some pro golfers and actually see how long they practice short putting,and putting in general when they practice.

I'll tell you right now,if you just take action and practice even 5 or 10 minutes a day 3 times a week you're going to become a better putter than the majority of casual golfers and even some top amateurs.

That's all it takes guys,and Phil would be proud of ya.'
