Chipping l Irons l Putting l Bunkers l Drivers l Rules & Etiquette

Putt For Dough


PRE-SHOT
*Evaluate the break and more importantly the SPEED of the putt.
- once you pick your aim, focus only on the speed you want to stroke the putt
-Downhill putts are not only are quicker, but they break more
-Uphill putts are slower and break less

*Briefly take notice of the grain
- the ball travels faster when the grass is shinny or a lighter color
- the ball travels slower when the grass is dull or darker color

SET-UP
*Be comfortable and balanced
*Set your eyes over the ball
*Ball position is wherever your weight is set
- if your weight favors your left foot - set the ball more toward that foot

*Lower body remains still but not stiff

EXECUTION
*Once you pick your aim, focus only on the speed you want to stroke the putt
*Lower body remains still but not stiff
*DO keep your head down. No peeking!
*Keep your hands passive and let your shoulders move the putter back & through
Much like the full swing, there are NO short-cuts to becoming a better putter
50% of your time practicing should be on the putting green
