If you want to make more putts, it would be wise to practice putting. Now I don't know about you, but after about fifteen minutes of putting with no goal or competition, I get bored. Even playing HORSE (or PIG - one person makes a putt, the next has to make it or he gets an H and so on) gets old fast. While games like HORSE are fun, they do not have any structure to promote the non-physical aspect of your putts. Another drawback to non structured games is that they can lead to unrealistic attempts at putts and even decreased confidence in your putting - horrible for your mental game!
The answer? Perfect Putt 360 & Mark Ellis' Putting Confidence Program!
The guys over at Flying Disc Magazine have published one of the best tools for improving your putting. The best part of the game is it requires you to go through your pre-putt routine EVERY putt, not just to warm up or when you feel like it. No rapid fire putting here, you have to slow down and concentrate, just like a tournament!
The Perfect Putt 360 chart and how to use it can be found here: http://www.flyingdiscmagazine.com/content/putt-perfect-perfect-putt
Mark Ellis (Team Discraft: http://www.discraft.com/team_ellis.html) has made it cool to practice your putts with his Putting Confidence Program. Check out Mark's discgolfersr.us page at http://discgolfer.ning.com/profile/markellis.
Mark's Putting Confidence Program:
Next time you play a round at your local course, keep a tally of how many shots you have, including putts, from within 100 feet. It might surprise you, and you will know where you need to improve. Make a commitment and you will shave at least a few strokes off your game!
The Perfect Putt 360 program is a great practice routine, and the Putting Confidence Program will make you a better putter, no doubt!
