Make 3 Foot Putts…Hit the back of the cup
Every time I stand over a 3 foot putt I only have one thing on my mind, HIT THE BALL TO THE BACK OF THE CUP…I have to tell you where that thought comes from. When I was growing up in Southwest Florida, my mother use to take a tee and stick it in the back of the hole. She would just barely stick the tip of the tee into the back of the hole, (above the hole liner and below the surface, on an angle.
Then the work began, I would stand there from 3 feet and hit putt after putt until I buried the tee in the ground. Then we would start again.
You do have to keep one thing in mind. I hit most 3-footers firm, I dont jam them in the hole. Of course on downhill and fast, hard breaking 3-footers, I am a bit more conservative.
If you develpe this style of putting for your 3-footers, you will gain some confidence on the short ones. Dont forget that the firmer you play them the less break you have to figure in.
