The truth about Putting
Where to Aim?
The most important part of the game
At the beginning, let’s try to imagine the following situation. Two players on the green, the first has a putt from 30 feet, the other with 8 feet. The first player must aim the ball at least 5 feet from the right side of the hole due to the large slope on the putting green, while the other player has a simple shot, perhaps only inch or two to the right side of the hole because from this part of the green there is no slope, or just a small one. First player is playing, and ball is rolling… Bum. In the hole! He saves a Par. Other player is playing, ball is going in… Whau! Lip out! Did you see that? He misses the Birdie. But, it was a nice putt, no luck! You probably know the feeling, more than once you were in such situation. Do you think it’s luck? Let’s look at what really happened. It is easy to understand that the first player had one putt. The first player has achieved his goal, but what happened with other player. I will help you understand why.
a) A player who has played with 30 feet, very well realized that he must hit the ball 5 feet right of the hole. He knew the correct line to the hole.
b) He started the ball on his intended line.
Start the ball on the intendend line
c) His ball matched that line with perfect speed.
d) He used the equipment that suits him (I know the guy in my golf club who very offten plays that tipe of shot with his Driver)
e) He wanted to save his Par and to put the pressure to the opponent. He believed the ball will finish in the hole.
I believe that you will significantly reduce your number of strokes if you will stick with this basics. Let’s go to the core.
