Sink More Putts
As a golfer, when you putt, what’s more important? Do you think it’s the speed or the line of your putts that makes the difference?
If you have played golf for any length of time you know that putting is where the rubber meets the road. If you can’t make putts, then your golf scores will never improve.
Many golfers believe that picking the right line for their putt is the most important part of putting. In some ways this is true, you can’t sink a putt if you are putting away from the cup.
But in reality, it’s your distance control that makes all the difference to whether or not you will make more putts.
You probably heard the saying, “Never Up, Never In.”
Any good golfer knows that if you don’t get the ball to the hole, it’ll never go in. It’s the golfers who understand this who are winning the skins and bets on the golf course.
Here is an example that will help prove this point:
Say you reach a typical par 4 in regulation and leave yourself with a 15 foot putt for birdie. When you read the putt, there is no break at all; you just have to get it to the hole. You stroke your putt and it only goes 8 feet. You are now left with a 7 foot putt for par to save the hole.
Take that same 15 foot putt, but this time you miss read the line, but when you strike the putt your ball reaches the hole, but is a foot or so to the left or right. Instead of facing a daunting 7 footer for par, you are looking at a tap in.
Which putt would you rather have to save par?
Do I even need to ask? This is really a no-brainer.
Improving your putting is one of the easiest ways to improve your game. The best part is, it won’t cost you hundreds of dollars at the driving range.
So I ask again, when putting, what’s more important? Do you think it’s the speed or the line of your putts that makes the difference?
Discover the secrets that professional golfers use to make more putts and watch your golf buddies turn red with envy.
