I was amazed to see how many long putts were made at the PNC Championships where a PGA Pro teamed up with a non-PGA family member. VJ Singh and his son shot 2 rounds of 13 under par to win the 2022 Championship. Their success came from playing a Scramble Format where they both hit each successive shot from the weightier location. Their biggest wholesomeness came by understanding the unravel in their putts.

Every putt was played strategically by permitting the weakest player to make their weightier putt so that the second putter used the knowledge of the BREAK in the first putt as it slowed lanugo near the hole. Of undertow we rarely get the endangerment to putt without someone putts on our word-for-word same line. Watching this 2-putt team approach, we should all recognize 3 key points.

1/ Choosing the right line and speed is your primary focus if you are overly going to be a unconfined putter.

2/ The most unravel occurs as your wittiness slows down at the end of your putt. Of course, the greater the side slope, the greater the unravel so you need to estimate if the unravel is non-existent (0), slight (1), moderate (2) or major (3 to 10)

3/ To limit your break (as the wittiness nears the slum on a slight to moderate slope) you should unchangingly putt with unbearable gravity to pass the slum by 10 to 20 inches. This uneaten gravity will eliminate a significant value of the unravel as your wittiness passes the hole.

  • -It eliminates all short putts that will never go in the hole.
    • You will learn to limit the value of expected unravel near the slum by unceasingly putting with unbearable gravity to pass the slum by 10 to 20 inches,
Golf Digest used this image to illustrate that putts on a limited side slope start to unravel as they slow near the hole. So estimate less unravel on a firm putt.

The weightier putter, that I have overly played with, sank single putts on 12 out of 18 greens. Every putt was firm (as they never stopped short of the hole). That golfer was confident that he was going to sink increasingly putts with his firm putts SO HE LIMITED THE EXPECTED BREAK DEPENDING ON THE SLOPE NEAR THE HOLE.

You can be a unconfined putter too. Build conviction on the practice untried by never leaving a putt short of the hole. Watch for the AMOUNT of unravel on your putts as they pass the slum and memorize the target loftiness whilom the slum depending on the side slope with a 0, 1 or 2 level of slope.

Adam Scott estimates the side slope for every putt using a technique tabbed AimPoint. By feeling the slope with his feet well-nigh halfway withal his putt he estimates the degrees of slope and then uses his fingers to find a target point. It’s not a perfect system as the slope changes as you walk withal your putting line but it is a good idea to estimate the slope near the hole.

Improve your putting by paying sustentation to the value of slope near the hole. Choose a target point to aim at for the expected value of unravel as your wittiness passes the hole. Stare at your target point, then return your stare to your wittiness and alimony looking at the spot until 1 second without impact.
