Summary
In this class, the focus is on distance control in putting, a critical factor in preventing three-putts and improving overall golf performance. The "10 Percent Rule" is introduced, which states that a good putt should stop within 10 percent of the total length of the putt. A drill involving tees and a ghost hole helps golfers practice this rule by providing instant feedback on their putt distance. Regular practice of this drill can significantly enhance distance control, and addressing any mechanical issues in the stroke can further improve performance.
Key Takeaways:
Importance of Distance Control: Essential for avoiding three-putts and improving putting performance.10 Percent Rule: A putt should stop within 10 percent of its total length (e.g., within 1 foot for a 10-foot putt).Practical Drill: Use tees and a ghost hole to practice stopping the ball within the appropriate zones for different distances (10, 20, 30 feet).Feedback Mechanism: The ghost hole provides instant feedback, as the ball can roll over it if hit too hard.Regular Practice: Consistent practice of this drill can lead to significant improvements in distance control.Mechanical Adjustments: Correcting common issues, like a short backswing and excessive acceleration, can enhance putting mechanics.Next Focus: The upcoming class will cover green reading to further improve putting accuracy.
