For me, success in the 3-6 yard interval is the key to good putting. And I do those pretty well. The other key is correct distance on the long ones.

Most putts inside 3 feet will go in anyway. Increasing the pressure on the "must makes" doesn't do me any good. But in the 3-6 yards interval, good putting can shave off a lot of strokes per round and breed short game confidence.

I guess better players, who needs several birdies on a good round need to focus morre on longer putts than I do. But they still need to sink their share of 3-6 footers to scramble pars.
