Putting Well Under Pressure !

Hi all,

A great pre-shot routine will give you the best chance of performing at your best under pressure.

Read on for some tips on developing a great pre-shot routine for your putting routine.


Great putting routine

1. First of all regardless of how you've been putting, get yourself into a more confident state. Get your head up, shoulders back and say to yourself that the putting green is your arena - it's where you do your best work (think about some of your best putts or just imagine how you'd walk approach the putt as a brilliant putter.)

2. Focus on getting the ball into the hole. Not 'close'. Your aim is to hole the putt, not to avoid three-putting. (As per my previous articles here you get what you focus on...)

3. As you're having a look at the path that your ball is going to roll into the hole, always go with your first instinct. This is your unconscious reaction and it will be better than any conscious effort to work out a different path or weight.

4. As you address the ball take a slow deep breath in and out and remember to have soft hands.*

5. Keep practice strokes to a minimum - ideally one or none*

6. Have one or a maximum two looks at the hole, forget about any technical stuff and stroke the ball into the hole. (Easy!)

*The reason that you want to minimise the time over the ball is that the longer you take, the more your conscious mind will try to get involved, leading to tension and a lack of feel. Keep the routine short and more of a reaction to the shot.
