Hi I'm Tom Stickney Golf Magazine Top 100 Instructor and today I want to talk to you about how to control your speed. A lot of times people come in here and they can handle the shorties but they can't get the speed they don't understand how hard it. Well the 1st thing you need to do is go on a long putt from where I'm standing the edge of what it is probably about 60 feet so what I'm going to do is I'm going to stand up here anchor myself in, and try to hit the ball 60 feet kind of roll as close as I can to that fringe without going into it. Then if I err I'm going to try it again.

It a little harder look at softer what had so you need to spend time batting putt back and forth across the green. 60 feet 80 feet 20 feet this fringe that one up hill down hill side hill those type of motions are going to help you to be more effective when it comes your distance and control. If you don't have distance control on the green you will never ever be a good putter Warren Roberts works on distance he putts all the across the green back and forth up and down he faces all kind of speeds that's the type of consistency you need to understand your speed because the green breaks pretty much stay constant the green speed changes every day all day long so take the time work on it just as control I will guarantee you will be a better putter.
