A FEW PUTTING THOUGHTS

It is time for a few solid putting thoughts.  This is not about putting practice. I have said it all in another post.  But here are some stroke improvements to consider:

1.    The way to keep your head still while putting is to keep your hips still.

2.     The 100% effective way to cure your yips is very simple.  Without a golf ball and in the comfort of your home, simple practice stroking your putting stroke back and forth as smoothly as you can with very slight acceleration on the down stroke.  Swing your putter back and forth, back and forth, looking solely at your putter blade and watching it square up at impact wiht any hand or wrist motion at all.  Practice this for 5 minutes back and forth like a pendulum each night for at least 3-5 nights a week.  After a couple of weeks, your putting yips or jerks will disappear forever.  Unless you give this a try, please do not argue wiht the solution.

3.    Get your eyes over the putting line for the ball.  Buy a putting mirror and do it.

4.    Propel your putting stroke wiht your rocking shoulders - or rocking sternum.  All else is fluff.
