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.

We have our fair share of pretty good golfers. But I agree 100% with the same putt over and over tunnel vision thing.

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?

I was just saying that this drill was pretty general. Anyone with any imagination at all could come up with something similar.

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

People just don't have confidence in their putting, most likely from a lack of practice, which might be what your first post was getting at.

Sometimes people need to be reminded of the obvious.

And that's fine. I just don't want people posting anything TOO obvious, spamming the forum, just trying to win the Big Bertha.

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.

There's nothing wrong with the drill itself. What I had a problem with was your presentation of it. It's like putting instructions for long division in a calculus book. There's nothing wrong with long division, or the way it's being taught. It's just out of place.

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.

Nothing wrong with that.
I never meant any harm with my post. I know it's hard to tell exactly what someone's intentions are over the internet.
Truce?
