]]> Many people have come to me for help with their putting. To putt well you need to master four things: 1 Set-up, 2 path and clubface, 3 rhythm and tempo, and 4 mental focus. Over the years I have had to continually work on all four of these skills sets to improve my putting. When I had the yips in college and also when I fist turned pro (yes I had them twice), my mental focus was the issue. I had to change what success meant, and in college, that was a smooth stroke where the ball rolled nicely. At least the ball now had a chance to go in the hole. Then I had to work on my path because I was cutting my putts. I remember hitting 50 putts every night in a track to get my stroke more straight back and straight through. My first year on Tour, I struggled with the speed of the greens, and finally realized that I was decelerating with my putter. I shortened my backstroke, and worked on my rhythm and tempo to be able to putt Tour speed greens more aggressively. Lastly I had to keep an eye on repeating a consistent set-up. In 1990 my dad and I worked on maintaining the fundamentals of a solid set-up, and I led the Tour in putting. I’ve pretty much been a good putter ever since. If you are struggling with your putting, identify one skill set that you think would help your putting the most, and work on that.
