The Secret Training Drill

7:01 am May 30, 2009

So, how hard should you hit the ball to get it into the cup?

A ball landing one or two feet shy of the hole isn’t considered in.

Therefore, the first step in putting is to hit the ball with just enough
force. Remember: just enough.

This way, if the ball misses the hole, it will still be located fairly
close to the hole & you won’t have much difficulty making the next
putt, given that the ball will still be close.

So, how do you determine how hard to hit the ball?

It’s fairly easy. Go to a practice green & try putts from different
distances until you start to get a better grasp on how hard to hit it
from various lengths.

Practice first from 8 feet, 20 feet, and then from 40 feet. Hit the ball
from different angles around the hole to see how the different
lengths of putts feel.

With sufficient practice, your mind will start to develop a connection
between the exact amount of force that you need to swing & the
right force needed to land the ball in the hole.

Dangers To Look Out For

11:36 pm May 26, 2009

If you think that your ball is safe once it hits the green, think again!
There are unsuspecting obstacles, or a better term would be
annoyances, that can wreck a seemingly perfect putt.
When making your putt, the following unsuspecting problems may
hinder your success on the green:

A. Grass
Since when is trimmed short grass on the green a problem? Although
the smooth surface of the green is well kept and maintained, it is still
grass after all, and it will grow. A small patch of higher-than-normal
grass blades can get in the way of a perfect putt.

That’s what you have to watch out for. A poor groundskeeper can
ruin your day!

B. Leftover Footprints

It is common etiquette not to step in the same line of your fellow
player’s shots on the green, so as to not create footprints. But not
everyone has such good etiquette unfortunately. What if the group
ahead of you has trampled all over the green? Footprints may not be
easy to see, but they can interfere with your ball’s line of travel.

C. Untouched Grass Around The Hole

Greens gets a lot of foot traffic from people walking all over them.
People make their putt shots, walk around them to grab their balls,
and all sorts of other stuff . But the 6 to 10 inches that surround the
hole itself never really gets stepped on. This can also create an
uneven level of grass and cause your ball to move in a different
direction.
