As
I write this, this Paula Creamer has buried a breaking
75 ft putt to win the HSBC Woman's
Champions event in Singapore for her
10th
LPGA win
and first since the 2010 U.S. Woman's Open. She ran across the
green with arms in the air after the putt dropped and then celebrated
her incredible playoff win with some fellow competitors.
On
the PGA Tour, 24
year old Russell Henley has chased down overnight
leader Rory
Mcllroy and 2 others on the 1st playoff hole at
the Honda Classic. Henley chipped and putted brilliantly
all week having several exciting chip-ins from long distance
on the difficult PGA National Course in Florida. He kept pace
with Rory's solid putting all week, and was able to top his fellow
24 year old opponent in "extra innings" for career win #2.
Did
you know the PGA Tour leader in Putts Per 18 Hole Round averages
only 27.33 putts?! While the worst player averages
31.12 putts per round. Some big name golfers at the top of the
great
putters
list include 2014 winners Webb Simpson and red hot Jimmy Walker.
However, Vijay
Singh,
Lucas
Glover, and David Toms sit at the bottom of the list with their
poor putting.
The
reality is that most
recreational golfers would be very happy to be
at
that 31 putts per round number.
In fact most golfers who report
into
me
with
their numbers
are at
about 34-36 putts per round.
Are
you keeping this stat in your own game?
If
not, it will really help your scores. Put another way,
which sounds better?:
A
total score of 101 or 96,
a 91 or an 87,
how about 78 vs.
82. Or may be a 69 vs.
71?!
This
is the real potential of simply lowering your Putts Per
Round even
slightly. And the confidence that spills over into
the rest of your game by monitoring your on green activity
is incredible!
The good
news is, in order to improve your putting stats, you don't need
to:
-
- Revamp your
golf swing.
- Change your
putting stroke.
- Buy a new
putter.
- Or spend
time in the gym!
So what's the
fastest way to make more putts? In other words, what separates
great putters from average or poor putters?
Speed
control is one answer and very important.
But in this
report, I am going to address an even bigger, more tangible aspect of putting.
Recreational
golfers have a heck of a time:
Reading
the Correct Amount
of Break on Putts.
The
vast majority of rec golfers and even less proficient Tour
pros simply do not read break correctly, or perhaps more
importantly, do not play enough break!
If
you don't drain it, missing
a breaking putt on the high side of the cup is referred
to missing on the pro side. The
alternative is missing on the low or amateur side.
This is killing your scores.
When
putting,
stroking the ball for entrance on the "high" side
of the hole is a good habit to add to your golf putting
game.
I'll
show you why you can make 50% more breaking putts,
lower your Putts Per Round stat, and slash your
total score and handicap in a jiffy by focusing on the
high side.
Let's
look at a typical breaking putt:
Now
for any breaking putt, there are 3 potential entrance paths
or gates into the hole. On the right to left breaking
putt above and below, most amateurs are limiting
themselves to
entrance via paths #2 and #3:
If
you under read the break (typical for weekend golfers)
and your ball is heading for the hole, you can only enter
the hole in those 2 sections, i.e., the middle or
the lower side of the cup. You
see, poor
putters
are simply not reading enough break and have effectively eliminated
the top or high side of the hole for ball entry (#1).
The
top putters in history are focused on gate #1. If you
are focused on that big gate #1, any under read or poor
speed putt still has a great chance of entering
the hole by
the middle or low (#2,#3) paths.
That's
because a component of gravity is pulling a ball on the
high side toward the hole.
However,
on weak putts, gravity is pulling the ball away form the
hole. It's
over.. too late.. the ball can't roll back up hill!
You
have 3 (not 2) entrance paths into the bottom
of the cup.
Use
Them All!
The
upper part of the cup is an open door for that ball.
You see it all the time with good putters on the PGA, LPGA,
and Champion's Tour.
I
can still visualize Ben Crenshaw (perhaps the best of all)
crawling that ball in the upper side of the cup.
It's what champions in every generation have done... and
you can too.
So
why do amateurs fail to play enough break? There
are a few reasons. Here are some top ones:
Anxiety! It
is universally understood that putts with a lot of break
are more difficult. They become even more difficult if
winning a skin, league match, or a cold Coke is at stake.
Anxiety
and apprehension almost invariably cause contraction
in the body, especially in the small muscles. This almost
always leads to deceleration of the arms,
shaft, and club head. That putt will be missed on the low
side, if it even gets to the hole.
We
saw this a few years ago at The Open Championship when Tom
Watson missed an 8 foot par putt
on 18 which would have earned him a 6th Open title. Unfortunately,
the ball never even
reached the hole, curling away weakly to the right.
Here's
how to make more breaking putts by reducing anxety and
it's effects:
-
Choose your grip pressure and maintain
it through the stroke. This will keep the putter
face consistent throughout the stroke.
-
Smile, yes smile before an important putt
(you can turn away from your group and do this if you need
to). Smiling
elicits a relaxation response throughout the body... it
is a tested fear of public speaking trick that
works.
-
Putt like you are not afraid to miss. This
will prevent you from trying to steer the putter or regrip
during the stroke. Set your plan, stick to it and just
execute.
Practice
- Sound
obvious? It's not. Weekend
golfers simply don't have a lot of big breaking putts from
which to draw experience (especially ones that were holed).
So practice at a facility that has a practice green and seek out the breaking putts on the green.
Hit
3 balls per hole, or until one drops. If one drops, hit
another from
the same spot as that will reinforce your successful
execution. On the course, you will have a wealth of breaking
putt
success to draw from. It will have an incredible
effect on your putting game.
Play
More Break This is the most critical
strategy, especially if you have difficulty with 1
or 2 above. Amateurs simply do not play enough break.
Under reading putts is an epidemic.
Less
is not more when it comes to break. I would suggest doubling
your break allowance (yes, 2X) especially on longer
putts. Again, most putts will slide by on the low side
do to a combination of inexperience and anxiety.
Playing
more break requires little more than using your exact technique
and making an alignment adjustment to start the ball on
a new line. Let gravity do the rest of the work.
In
doing so you are one huge step closer to putting like the
best putters on the game.

You

In
all my years of playing golf, I have concluded that a
golfer can not break 80 without a repeating golf swing.
It does not have to be perfect, but it must be reproducible.
When
a repeating swing takes form, a whole new level of satisfaction
results as the golfer is now able to play the game the way
it was intended.
My
trademark move, The Key, delivers
the club head right back through the ball with precision power
and control. It is the star
of the show. I can't play without it.
In
fact my discovery of The Key was
the very catalyst for my whole career in the golf industry.
It was also the sole factor that..

years
with inconsistent ball striking and a stagnant handicap.
I'll
show you exactly what I've shown over 10,000 golfers from 61
countries, many of whom broke 80 in their very next
round after putting The Key into use.

through the ball at impact with tremendous power and control.
Thousands of golfers, from beginners to scratch
players, have put The Key to work
in their games and the results have been astounding (over
250 testimonials on file).
In
fact, the following is a note typical of the type that hit
my inbox all week. It is genuine and unsolicited:
"First
ever even par round"
"Hi
Robert,
I
just wanted to pass on that over the last few weeks
I have being playing better and better, until the
peak which was just yesterday.
I
played at a local course and for the first time in
my life I shot under 80, and not
just under. I hit 38, 36. A day of firsts, first
ever even par round, first time in the 70's, 4 birdies,
just an all round amazing result.
I
owe a fair bit of it to you as I am adhering strictly
to your teaching.
Thanks again and best regards,
Dale
N. - Maylasia
P.S. I have just received 2 dozen (name removed) golf
balls, the ball you recommended for my game (although the score yesterday
was with a (name removed), needless to
say I'm starting to love this ball quite a lot) and the next time out
I intend to try this ball. I'll check in with you early in the new
year to see if there is anything else that you recommend."

"your
instruction clears the head"
Robert,
"I
am sure you have received many testimonials in the
past but how many within the first few hours.
I
purchased & read your e-book this morning - as
usual, after reading I needed to go to the practice
range to see if it at least worked sometimes for
me before committing any further time - patience
is not one of my virtues.
Whilst
I hit the ball well & hit what I was aiming at
most of the time that is not the reason for this
reply.
For
the first time in my 40 years of golf I felt & knew
at the top when I was in a good position to hit
the ball solidly & could predict the outcome
from the top of my swing.
In
short, thank you - I now have the new sensation of
the correct feeling at the top - golf is not a game
of perfect but given 5 minutes practice I am convinced
that "simple" is the answer for the
amateur/social golfer to play good golf without hitting
hundreds of balls per day. - your instruction
clears the head of the thousand thoughts that ruin
scores & a good day out with the boys.
I
started a skeptic who expected the same rehash
of information, instead I am pleasantly surprised."

"Dear

As
you will by my e.mail address above I purchased
your Key system and I am amazed
by its immediate change it has had to my

unbelievable is all I can say.
Thank
you so much for your prompt reply and superb

read the ‘Key’ again, just
to refresh and keep the practice going
to improve even further.

"Hi
Robert,
Thank
you so much for your comprehensive response
to my golf ball recommendation request.
I am very impressed...
I
read your wonderful e-book “The Key
to a Repeating Golf Swing” this weekend,
and found it to be the best golf
book I have ever read (out of
probably 40 or 50 of them).
Great
job! And I’ll be recommending you
to friends – although not the ones
that I am currently playing for money!!"
