Not sure how to phrase the title so be it.
Anyway, we often talk of how we recover from the bad for the next shot. A bad hole, a bad round, bad drive, any bad shot, bad chips etc... we then say different things as a remedy for the bad round or different shots. A bad round we say put it behind you, A drive we might say forget the last one and swing easier. Maybe similar for irons. Or choke up a bit and swing easy till you get it back etc,,,or even to play clubs that you hit best till the swing comes back. For poor chipping we might say use a putting stroke and lower loft etc , ect.
We basically can change minor physical things a tad and simplify and make things easier on ourselves till we snap out of it and recover. That is all besides the mental approach too. But what remedy is there for putting poorly when its just not working. Obviously there is the mental remedy of forgetting the past but there is no real physical thing like we might do with the other parts of our game. You cant swing easier. Cant go 80%. cant play a favorite club, you cant do it any differently physically speaking. Aside from a mental approach what kind of change can be made when the putting isn't happening?? What do you do to help the cause?
