Good Putting Gone Bad And How To Correct It
Often a normally good putter will lose it on the greens. They miss putts they used to make all the time. Their confidence takes a nose dive. This is the ultimate test of strength for a golfer.
Putting from short range is technically a very simple thing to do. How a golfer strokes the ball is totally irrelevent, so long as they start the ball on the proper line, at the proper speed. Each golfer has their own unique stroke.
If your putting takes a vacation from your golf game, the first thing you should do is check and double check your aim. You would be amazed at how many putting problems are caused by an incorrect aiming of the putter.
You should also consider changing putters temporarily. But after a week or so, give the old one a new chance unless things are going really good. Make the change as temporary, but you don't need to hold yourself to it.
What the temporary putter change does is allow to you to forget how to misaim your old trusted friend. When you feel ready to go back, you will have a fresh view of the putter head and alignment marks that served you so well for so long.
Your putter never changed. It worked once before and you can make it work again. All it takes is a correction in the way you are seeing the alignment.
I like to keep putting simple. There are only two things that really matter in putting. Line and speed. You must be aimed properly to hit the line, and confident enough in your line to hit it the right speed.
