Help making birdie putts?

Those are tough putts. You need to just walk up to the ball knowing it will go in but also don't psych yourself out if they don't fall because guys on tour are happy to make like 50% from 15 ft. I know that I am a 50% putter from 10 feet so I see a ten foot putt and just give it my best stroke. If it doesn't go in then you have a tap in (hopefully) par and you go to the next whole.

I think that Dr. Bob Rotella is the best at describing all of this. This is where I learned everything I know about sports psychology. Just pick up one of his books. He told a story about a guy who played college basketball and he kept clanging shots off the rim left and right but kept putting up shots, nonetheless. He asked him, "why did you keep shooting?" And the kid basically told him that he was a 50% shooter and so when the game was on the line and he had to make a shot he made the shot because he knew he could do it. He saw the shot going in in his mind and he knew that he was "do" for one to go in.

This is a long answer but it is the best way to look at putting, Whether you are a 20% putter from 10 feet or a 90% from ten feet just walk up to every putt being confident you will make it and if you miss it you walk up to the next one and tell yourself, "I am 50% from this spot and I missed the last one so I am do to make this one." It is all about odds because for every putt you miss your chances of making the next one increase.

The key to putting, or all golf is confidence.

Putting is a 50-50 thing. Either you make them or miss them. All you can do is practice and learn how to read greens. Have the attitude that you're going to make every putt and don't get discouraged when you miss. For me it's a concentration thing. I tend to make more putts when I really concentrate. At times my concentration level wanes. The thing with reading greens is if you look for the break in a putt and don't see it, it probably isn't there. Putts you know are going to break, borrow more than you think because the tendency is to miss on the low side. Again, it's a 50-50 thing.

I think its great that you are giving yourself some birdie chances to begin with!

Any advice? Try to get close to the whole, getting within 6 feet will increase your chances of hitting the putt a ton! It always help yourself to try to chip it close! It is easier said than done! But its worth a try!

A friend was in Phoenix when the LPGA was playing there. He met a caddy for one of the Asian players (he couldn't remember her name). His youngest son is 8 and just starting to learn to play. My friend asked the caddy what was the best advise he could give a beginning golfer. He said that when he walked on the green to make a butt 'to believe that he could make it'. I tried doing that last week in my league's end of month tourny and won first place in the first flight. I had one 3 putt, usually that number is higher.

There's probably pressure to make these types of putts. Just treat them like every other putt... get the line, get the speed and let 'er go. Free yourself from doubt; if it drops, it drops... if not, you still have a routine par on your hands.

It is all a matter of viewpoint. The view of the green path to the hole, the one of where the hole is at ( the high side or low below curve of green) and The size of the golf ball to the hole size at fifteen feet. At longer distances the hole is much smaller and all you can hope for is to get a close par shot next. Just have confidence that you will give it your best shot.

that is in simple terms the version between a expert golfer who could make hundreds of thousands of dollars because of the fact he's experienced and gifted on the sport and a Saturday morning amateur. that is not any distinctive than the different interest. There are pretty experienced professionals and there are amateurs. expert golfers can spend 8 hours an afternoon in simple terms training their occupation on those days whilst they do no longer look to be taking part in in tournaments. upload that to their organic expertise, and you have your answer. i've got been golf for 40 years and the proper score I even have ever scored on a par seventy two golf course is 80 5. (i'm relatively solid)

try and get close instead of going in. this will leave you an easy put for par. if you do this you will impress anyone.
