Key Moments
Take it to the range
- 1Place 12 tees around the hole in a clock face pattern to practice short putts from all angles.
- 2For short putts, pick a tiny intermediate target like a chip in the paint, not the hole itself.
- 3Avoid lining up your ball; instead, visualize the putt's shape and feel comfortable over it.
- 4Focus on rhythm, letting the putter swing freely like a grandfather clock pendulum.
- 5For long putts, adjust stroke length for distance, maintaining consistent rhythm and tempo.
