Well,this interview with Mark Harman from the US Golf Teachers Federation is up now,right here.It's short and talks about the foundation of Putting and how to get started,and what most golfers including pros do that short circuit their Putting success in the long run.
This little primer on short putting will help you know what to focus on and get started on the right path to Putting Success.Mark Harman has been in the game for a long time and helps both pros and amateurs from every level.
So take a few minutes to learn and take massive action on getting a better Putting game going guys.
MG: When you teach golfers both novice or even pros Putting, do you start them off with tapins and short putts or what they are having problems with?
MH: For novices, I think it's best to start with short putts such as tap-ins, so they can have some immediate success at the game. Also, since it's such a short stroke, they can learn what it's like to have some control over the club, which is much more difficult with a longer club for a novice. With pros, there are some checkpoints you want to examine, such as how well they aim the putter and how well they read the greens. Believe it or not, many pros do not do those two things as well as you might expect.
MG: I find a lot of golfers whern Putting think they need perfect mechanics and don't focus on the Putt it's self. What do you recommend to golfers on the green who do this and make small flaws constantly in their putting stroke?
MH: Very good point. When it comes time to pull the trigger, you can't be thinking about mechanics. The best thing to concentrate on is the speed of the putt, or how hard to hit it. Once you have addressed the ball with your putter, you should have confidence that the line is correct. Save the mechanics for the practice green.
