A three putt usually starts with a long putt that ends up way short, or way long. And now you’ve left yourself with at least two more putts to hole it. So, in order to have fewer three putts, you really need to make that first putt count, and that means learning to be a
This is not your grandfather’s “How to Putt” instruction video; it’s a way different way of putting. In this video Matt Walter teaches us a way to putt that defies conventional wisdom. No pendulum, rocking of shoulders, or straight back-straight forward for Matt. And consider this, at some point we’ve all been told to not

by Dave Pelz Pop quiz! How close to the hole do you think the pros land their approach shots to the green? Well if you guessed 10 to 15 feet, which seems like what we see on TV, you would be way off. Through June 7 2015, Jim Furyk is ranked number 1 with an
