PUTTING TIP OF THE DAY:
The most common cause for missed putts is movement. Coming out of your fixed posture causes you to miss your putts. You fix this problem by doing the "Hit & Hold" Practice Putt.
Go to the practice green and consciously be aware of your posture position as you line up your putt.
After you have struck your putt "hold" the follow through for at least six seconds to give you time to check the following factors:
• 1. Is your body still in its original address position?
• 2. Is the putter head path still on line to the target?
• 3. Is the putter face still square to your target?
If any of these three things are not present you are losing shots due to missed putts. This "hit and hold" position will help you check if all is well with your putting stroke. Remember: no movement!
The OnePutz Putter is a great tool to use when practicing the "Hit & Hold"
