    To all you golfers, I started a variation of this drill (no tees and 6 balls), my score dropped and my confidence with the putter went through the roof. This one works.

    One thing that helped me hole more putts was imparting top spin on the ball with the stroke, I used to hit my putts and the ball would skid a foot or so then roll end over end. When I started getting top spin from the get go the ball would seek the bottom of the hole more, even on off center of the hole.

  • @littleo353
    @littleo353 3 роки тому

    The best advice I ever gave someone was a beginning golfer, a woman about 40. She struggled terribly on the course. Then on the 8th hole she hit a good Tee-shot. At the ball she got excited about the possibility of finally making her first par. We decided on a 5 iron. Somehow she it it about 9 feet from the hole and her excitement was over-flowing.
    My advice was this: "You need to accept that you cannot MAKE the ball go into the hole. A lot of factors. However you can make yourself assess the line and the slope. Decide on the path of the ball. Take a few strokes consistent with that plan. And MAKE yourself attempt to execute that plan.
    She made the putt and she is the only person I've known in 60+ years of playing that made a birdie before making a par.
    As the renowned psychiatrist from way back, Dr. M Scott Peck, said in his seminal book "The Road Less Traveled" - "At the root of all unhappiness is expectations." Remove the expectations of "making the putt" and you lower the anxiety.

    If you watch Phil perform this drill, when he says 25/75 he does that, but when he does not say that, he moves 25/50. Puts shorter than 4', require less follow thru. Longer puts require more take away than close puts. If 25/75 works for you for 100 out of 100, do not change a thing. But if you watch Phil's putter head movement during this drill, it is much closer to 25/50, when he is not instructing, just feeling the put.
