Grooved Golf Swing Series: Having trouble putting? Here are some solutions for you

Here are some things about putting on that will probably give you some

problem.

You are playing a round of golf and the greens are nice and dry and

the ball runs well on the greens.

you have the trick of

how hard to hit it and how far it will go for a certain throwing force.

Now it starts to rain.

At this stage I used to have

uncertainty about how the ball would run on a wet putting green.

Do I hit the ball harder? Will it break less? Will it stop sooner?

It totally depends on how much rain has fallen and how humid the weather is.

the greens have become.

If they are very wet, the ball will not roll as much, it will not break

both and you’ll have to hit your puts a little harder meaning

a longer backstroke.

However, the usual thing is that the greens remain firm but the

the grass is wet from the recent shower.

Believe it or not, wet grass will have very little effect on

your position

The break and roll will be the same and the put will not

it has to be hit differently than one put on a dry surface.

This is because the grass is so short that it cannot hold much water.

The ball may stop a few inches shorter if rain has made the green

wetter than light rain, but the difference will be very small.

Some greens you will find, especially in tournaments, will be

very fast in fact.

I have played on greens where if the ball was on

moving, he did not stop until he reached the other edge of the

green on a downward slope. Quite impossible.

The trick here is to try to keep the ball below the hole.

times so that you have an uphill post for all your posts.

You have to keep this thought well in your mind at all times.

Make sure of your two putts and play for this.

You will find that sometimes you will put your ball in the hole

without really trying to hole out.

The important thing is to avoid very fast descents.

A put across a slope is preferable to a put down a hill.

As I have said, keep this factor in mind at all times while in

or near the greens.

This means that you leave your chips under the

hole too.

Also your long putts.

Play your long puts and your chips to position yourself at all times.

You will be pleasantly surprised at the results of the day.

Because you have that plan and you stick to it,

you will find that your confidence will skyrocket.

You approach your first position thinking about the position

and don’t hit it in the hole and a lot of pressure goes off.

I know I’ve said this before but put twice every time you’re in the

green.

Not for one foot putts, of course, but for medium and

long distance putts.

Having recalled a five foot birdie stand, and because I tried

to sink the putt, I was too aggressive and put my first putt too far

not the hole.

Result: a green with three posts and instead of a low one,

I was one more.

Terrible feeling!

It is curious how one remembers these painful lessons.

Of the many, many positions that one does in a

life time, one or two remain in the mind forever.

Rarely are the really good puts.

The really painful ones always remain

No?
