Notes from putting clinic 1

February 16, 2016 Matt Stafford

This step is fun!  Drop 5 or 6 balls and putt at hole, when it is straight put a tee down and find the next straight one!

Now hit a few putts right and left of each point you found before until they start to break....at this point you can stand there stunned that there are such big chunks of easy putts on greens.  This is how you cut your handicap in half and help the local golf teacher pay his mortgage....=)

This is now where your world changes as far as playing golf.....Before you were guessing on putts and had no real strategy for approaching the hole from tee/fairway..  Once you find the outside edges of the "chunk" you now have a geometric model to determine the exact break of all the other putts on the green!

Logic says that if most of your putts all day are straight your scores will plummet.  That's what happens....but once you have straight putts do you actually line up at the hole with your putter like you think or see? We should check or else you are wasting your time playing!  The answer 90% of time is you DON'T.  Ask Marco or Randy.....it is optics and easily solved......Imagine!  Straight putts AND good alignment?  From a $25 clinic.....?  Shoot that's a good deal.
