Why Your Putts ALWAYS Come Up Short…
There are four reasons why you come up short on all of your putts. Today I am going to tell you one of the reasons and the next time you head out to the golf course you will see a dramatic change in your putting.
You not reading your putts correctly-or not at all. You can not believe how many times I have seen amateurgolfers roll their 25 foot putt half up to the hole. Of course when I turn to them and ask them if they mishit the putt or did they not know they were going straight up hill, they usually turn to me and say “I never even thought about that”.
Whether you love putting or not, it is not going away. The single best thing you can do is decide right now you are going to become a great putter. Now I am going to share something with you about reading putts that is NOT rocket science.
99% of all the putting greens in the world are built LOW in front and HIGH in the back. There are a couple of reasons. Drainage is one of them but the number one reason is THE GAME IS TOUGH ENOUGH WITHOUT THE GREEN GOING AWAY FROM YOU. When the build the green they have to make it fair. If all of the greens where built HIGH in the front and LOW in the back, most of us would probably quit.
The next time you are walking up to the first green pay close attention to the design of the green. It is probably lower in front and higher in the back. With that being said, most putts from the front of the green to the back of the green are slower than putts from the back of the green to the front. Start reading them correctly and you won’t leave them short.
