Holing Short Putts

We have all struck that great fairway approach or delicate pitch to within four feet of the hole, only to walk away disappointed when we miss another short putt. How can we make more of those “Testers”?

Develop, Train, Trust and use the following:

• A good Mental Routine
• Consistent aiming procedure for your body and your putter face
• Consistent ball position
• Focus of the eyes on the ball
• Quiet, and relaxed body
• Good practice routine, spending 60% of putting practice on putts of 10 feet and closer
• Practice putting 40% of all practice time
