| It is safe to say that the overwhelming demographic of this forum are weekend or a couple of times a week golfers. The number one question I am asked, aside from "how can I hit the ball farther," is for putting drills. When I see the proverbial weekend or couple of times a week golfer "practice," they are just putting putting putting, the same putt, over and over.
My goal as an instructor is to provide guidance in the form of proper techniques and drills so the golfer can improve, just as a personal trainers job is to provide guidance in the form of proper diet and exercise techniques so his or her pupils stay in shape. Yes, these may seem obvious after reading them, but don't they all?
A tip about getting the ball started up high on putts, obviously very good. While it should be common sense that it is easier to make putts from the high side than the low side, for some reason, the majority of people still miss low. Sometimes people need to be reminded of the obvious.
If we are all trying to help here, I'd like to kindly ask that members please refrain from talking down on other's tips or drills, unless there is an obvious flaw that may actually hurt someone's game.
Much appreciated.
P.S. The power of using your routine on the green is subconscious, or mental as most would call it. Using your routine on the practice green makes it easier to use on the course, which calms you down. Being calm and relaxed, you make more putts.
