Golf Chipping and Putting – Love it or Hate it?
When you are out golfing on a beautiful day how many times have you had two great shots to almost reach the green and then take four or five more shots to get in the hole? That has certainly happened to me many times.
No one likes to practice chipping and putting. There are so many different instruction books on the short game, all with a different technique.
First you need to commit to one technique and stick to it. Far be it from me to dictate which technique to use (I am a David Leadbetter guy), just pick one. Next practice, practice and practice some more.
But that is only part of the solution to becoming an improved player. If you do not have the right attitude you will mentally find a way to self destruct. (Try to remember the putter is not your enemy) Dr. Bob Rotella is the guru of the mental side of the game. Below is a short video from Practice Like a Pro in which he discusses the attitude you should have about the short game. While easier said than done, he makes perfect sense.
What do you think?
As always keep ‘em in the fairway.
