I’ve heard about that technique before, but I think I need to start with something more basic than that. My biggest issue is when I’m putting across a break. I’m not sure if that really is how you’d word it though. The specific putt I have in mind from yesterday was on a two tiered green. I was putting from the upper tier to the lower, and it dropped about a foot in elevation halfway between my ball and the hole running at about a 45 degree angle. It was significant and apparent. I knew it was going to move my ball a long way, but I didn’t know which way.
I’ve been burned before when I picked the direction I thought it would go and was wrong, essentially doubling how far the break took my ball. I’ve gotten to where, rather than risk that, I just putt straight at it and deal with the result.
Truthfully, a lot of this could be remedied by spending just a little time on a practice green. I have no excuse for this level of stupidity other than that I find putting incredibly boring.
Two-tiered greens are difficult for everybody, including pros. I wouldn’t get too hung up on a bad putt when a tier is involved.
