Too many putts can be the difference between a memorable round and one to forget. When it comes to putting, less is more. And if you want to shave strokes and have more fun on the greens, we’ll need to start with some key basics.
According to the USGA, the average golfer takes 2.2 putts per green. If you improve upon that by just 10%, you’re saving about four strokes per round!
Is there a distance you find trickier than others? Close range? Lag putting? The beauty is that many of the same basics apply, like keeping your head still and following through on your intended line.
Lacking the basics of putting is more common than you might think, and it could be the root cause of your struggles.
Your best year ever
Nail the basics and make this your best golfing year ever!
