You will never hole every putt, BUT you can make every putt. If you’re lucky enough to play golf this weekend, try that.įocus on making every putt NOT on holing every putt. Forget about the hole, just let it get in the way of your ball.
That’s the philosophy you need when you’re putting to hole more putts.Īgain, it’s counterintuitive but it works.Įvery putt you face I want you to focus on doing everything you can control and let the outcome take care of itself. starting the ball on the line you wanted with the pace you wanted, then you made the putt. You hit the putt just how you wanted but it missed.Īccording to the criteria of making a putt, e.g. You will hit the putt with the pace you want, or you won’t.įor this example, imagine starting the ball on the right lip line and hitting the putt with the correct pace and as the ball is rolling towards the hole it hits an old pitch mark that you didn’t notice and knocks it just to the right so that the ball lips out on the right hand side. You will start the ball on the line you want, or you won’t.Ģ. When you putt like this there’s going to be a couple of things that will happen.ġ. So to make the putt you need to start the ball on a line that’s going directly at the right lip of the hole with the pace you want. And to do that you need to aim at the right lip. How much it breaks is going to be determined by the pace you hit the putt with.įor this example, let’s say you choose to hit the putt so that if it misses the ball will go about a foot past the hole. Let’s say in this case it’s a right to left putt. Let’s put this into action on an 8 foot putt.įirst you’re going to look at the green and try to judge the way the putt is going to break. Starting the ball on the line you’ve chosen and with the pace you’ve chosen. … if you judge your putting success on whether the ball goes in the hole or not you will become too results orientated, and that will affect your results long term.Īs far as what you need to focus on to make every putt you need to look at the basics of putting. You need a “to do” list for every putt that you run through, and if you do it then you made the putt irrelevant of whether the ball goes in the hole or not, because… We can hit a putt exactly as we want but the ball doesn’t go in.īut to hole more putts you actually need to use that “I did everything I could” mentality… and here’s how. Well, we all lie but what I think Jack was referring to was that he made the putt, it just didn’t go in.Īnd that happens all the time when we putt. “No need”, Jack replied, “I have never missed from inside of three feet on the last hole of a tournament. “But Mr Nicklaus”, the man insisted, “I saw it, I have it on film, I can send it to you if you like”. Jack looked at the man and repeated that he had never missed from inside of three feet on the last hole of a tournament. “Jack you say you’ve never missed from inside of three feet on the last hole of a tournament, but I was watching you last month in a major tournament and that’s exactly what you did.” After saying that, Jack opens the floor to take questions and a man puts up his hand and says to Jack… However, in his mind he believed he was a great putter and didn’t miss putts… especially in the heat of battle.įor example, there’s a famous story of him telling an audience that he’s never three putted the last hole of a tournament or missed from inside of three feet.
Let me explain the subtle difference of what I’m talking with a famous story about Jack Nicklaus. This golf tip is going to help you hole more putts, but if you apply what I’m saying you’ll make every putt you attempt.
