Banish the costly three putts - (Video) lesson by PGA pros Pete Styles and Matt Fryer

Continually three putting on the golf course is one of the most costly and frustrating aspects of anyone’s game. It can often lead golfers to higher scores and reduced enjoyment. During this video tip Matt and Pete will try to banish those dreaded three putts for good and in turn replace them with a solid putting game and lower handicap.

Matt this tip is all about the curse of the high handicap golfer the 3 jab. Back whatever you want to call it we don't want our putts to start with 3 anything I've set you up here 20 footer to maybe even a 15 footer and I think a lot of golfers when they get to this range their mind is focussed on holing it, and then they take 3. It's very disappointing because they were so focussed on getting the thing in but they expected to make par they walk to the next tee sign for a double bogey.

That's saps the confidence it saps the enjoyment and the satisfaction to play in the game and you know that that next tee shots getting hit twice as hard as it should have been. Cause the frustration bubbles over so how can we avoid costly 3 putts from this position. You know I think is a very very true that scenario that you just talked about that the one who's done all the hard work and hit it nice in close air after you know just hit driver 7 iron to 15 20 feet make him par all day and then the thing is like you say you're a bit excited and one of the worst things it's all about pace control here you know pace control and managing our expectations.
