I want to give Fred some kudos for his putting technique. I met Fred at Temecula Creek Inn and he gave me a 10 minute lesson in his pro shop when it was slow. I took it to the putting area and worked on it for about 30 minutes. Today I was able to take it to the course and see it in action. First I like to say that my confident level was very high on my short game. Why? Because, I knew I could get it up and down. Some thought what I learned form Fred. 1. Taking the Putter head to the hole. (Before every putt, I set the putter down next to the ball, pushed my putter head to the hole. Practice routine.) 2. Getting the ball to the hole. (Mental thought) 3. Speed ( very important ) My misses were because of bad reads. Came out two putting. 4. Making everything I see. ( This was accomplish because all the practicing I did on the three foot putts) 5. The ball can only go one place, in the hole. These are my own putting thought that I got out of his putting technique. I would like to say you should try it. You’ll be amazed how fast your confidence will get in practicing those three foot putts then getting the speed down on the 30+ putts. When practicing making putts you instantly forget about missing putts Opps did I day say that word Xxxx. Forget that word! Make them All! and your putting will Improve. P.S I saved Par more then once with my flat stick even thirty foot down hill par saver! Enjoy Ball Turf Ball Turf View Public Profile Send a private message to Ball Turf Find all posts by Ball Turf
