What must one do to produce a successful putt?
Simply stated, you must roll the ball on the correct path at the correct
speed. Of these two variables, path and speed, speed is the most
important because it determines path. A putt hit too slow will break off line
early and one hit too hard will not break as much.
So to determine your line you must first determine the speed of the putt at
hand. We recommend the use of the 3 foot halo to help our students learn to
control the speed of their putts through visualization and imagery. We feel if a
player can consisitently hit putts and chips into the 3 foot circle they can
improve their scores quickly.
Distance control is by far the most important variable to master on the
greens. If you are going to take 30 seconds eyeing a putt, don't be overwhelmed
with the line. Focus on speed and distance.
