"Drive For Show, Putt For Dough" Is The Lesson Weveall Seen And Learned From Watching Professionalgolfers In Every Tournament And Championship.The Masters Of Golf Can Drive A Ball From Here Toeternity, But It All Boils Down To How Many Strikes Ofthe Ball It Takes To Put The Ball In The Hole. Thelong Accurate Drives Dont Amount To Anything Ifyoure Unable To Putt Accurately.Choosing A Putter Is Important, But Using Whateverputter You Have Consistently Is More So. Ive Had Thesame Putter For Fifteen Years; I Know What It Feelslike In My Hand, I Know Its Weight And How That Playsinto My Putts.Putting Takes Lots Of Practice. Typically, We Drivethe Ball Eighteen Times In A Game, But Putt At Leastdouble That Number. Doesnt It Stand That We Shouldpractice Our Putting At Least Twice As Much Asdriving? If You Cant Get To The Practice Greenregularly, Practice On Your Carpet At Home.Keep In Mind That No Ball Can Make It Into The Hole Ifit Doesnt Have Enough Power Behind The Ball To Getthere. Take The Time To Get Down And Look At The Pathfrom Your Ball To The Hole; Does It Slant One Way Orthe Other? Is It Uphill Or Downhill?Stand With Your Feet Spread For Balance And Line Upthe Putt. Keep You Hands, Arms And Shoulderscompletely Still; Imagine That You Are A "bobble Head"but You Move From Just Below Your Chest. Keep Yourhead Directly Over The Ball. Pull Your Club Back; Keepyour Hands, Wrists, Arms And Shoulders Steady-themovement Comes From Your Chest. Hit The Ball,following It With Your Club.Learn From Each Putt And Remember The Lesson.Practice, Practice, Practice!
