6 feels found
'Never allowed myself to worry about missing, never putted afraid. Fear is death for putting.' Cultivate long-term memory of successes and short-term memory of failures.
Grip putter in FINGERS, not palms. Feel shaft in lifeline of left hand for control, but make sure fingers contact grip. Forget palms—fingers create feel.
Don't look at ball—look at spot ONE INCH in front of ball on target line. Focus on rolling ball OVER that spot.
Putting should feel as natural and quick as signing your name—automatic and subconscious. Try to duplicate signature slowly and you'll mess up. Same with putting.
On short putts (inside 5 feet), look directly at HOLE instead of ball when putting. Frees up stroke and eliminates tendency to steer.
When in 'blackout,' have zero thoughts about setup or stroke. All you see is the arc of a putt with enhanced clarity—the gentle swoop. Your stroke is simply a reaction to make that path come alive.
