Tom Stickney – A Top 100 Golf Teacher
Hi I'm Tom Stickney Golf Magazine Top 100 Instructor and today I want to talk to you about putting. Remember putting is all about confidence and yes there are some mechanics yes there are some fundamentals that you need to understand but the bottom line about putting is that I think this thing is going to roll it better it probably will. If I think I'm going to miss it I probably will so what I want you to do when you're working on your putting at home I want you to do this little drill that I've got to show you and that's going to help you have a lot more confidence in your putting. I want you to start with about a 3 foot putt and I want you to make sure that you find it get a flat 3 foot put and what I want you to do is get in here and I want you to make 20 in a row.
When you make 20 to roll from a flat 3 foot are 2 things going to happen number one there's going to be an actual groove this give you warning in a green that you can't see that helps all the balls are pretty much track of the hole. The 2nd thing is going to happen you're going to see and you're going to hear a lot of the ball going into the hole and when you see a lot of putts going in the hole and when you hear a lot of let's go to the hole you're going to find that you have a lot more confidence. So spend the time with those 3 footers and just make a bunch of them try from either side of the hole try from different lies different lengths and what have you in those little 3 footers or what have you are going to help you to be a better player you need to see and feel a lot of those putts go to the hole. So start with a 3 foot dead flat put maybe go to 2 feet maybe go to 4 feet make it 20 try from different lies different angles and what have you and you're going to find if you see a lot of putts go in the hole you're going to convince yourself that you're a lot better part of it if you can get yourself in your lot better putter you're going to be a lot better putter.
