Hi Freddie, You've seen my game quite a bit so you know where my struggles lie. My ball striking seems to be on the upswing the last month but my putting is still really hurting me. Yesterday had six 3-putts. Also missed several makeable up & down opportunities inside 6 feet.
It's time to put in some serious practice work to turn this around. I'm easily losing 4 to 7 strokes a round recently just from putting.
Today before my round I put in about 30 minutes of putting practice before the round. Took 8 balls and placed them in a 5 foot circle around the hole. Did this over and over.
I'd like to put in 30 minutes to an hour of practice at least 3 times a week until my club championship on August 4/5th.
Do you have some other drills to offer so I'll have some variation?
And any mental tips you can offer? Today on the first 3 holes I made solid putts inside the 6foot range. I missed a 4 foot putt on the fourth hole and downhill it went from there. Once I miss a short putt, I tend to focus on that miss for the rest of the round. You saw that in person at the RR when I putted decently until missing that short putt on our 14th hole.
