Just came off the course today, I shot a weak 79 with 7 three putts and a four putt.....not good at all.
Any help would be great.

I honestly would have never thought a 79 is possible with 7 three putts and a 4 putt. You've proved me wrong.

Maybe he only played nine holes.

To the OP, you've got to give us more information. For example: 1) how are you missing your putts? 2) what are you trying to do with your putts? 3) what's your pre-shot routine? You'll probably also have to give us some information because, quite frankly, a 79 with 7 three-putts and a four-putt (that's nine wasted strokes right there) doesn't seem like a reasonable score. Tell the doubters why they're wrong - you'll get more help.

You are very right.

Also: are you trying to attack the hole with your putts? (being very agressive) or do you tend to guide them in with the break? What distances are you most often missing your putts at?

It is a very short course that a long hitter can have a field day on. I drove the green on 4 par fours and chipped in for 1 eagle and rolled a 5 footer in for another eagle.
off the tee I was on and long game was nice, but my putter failed me. I guess i was being too aggressive on the green.

That can be it, coming up short is prob the best, because I think on any day, a soft roller will come up shorter but closer than an agressive putt will. You must be bombing it past the hole to have 3 & 4 Putts.

I smell handicap inflation, but whatever.
Practice.
Nobody can teach you how to hit a putt, you have to learn yourself.

First Make sure your setting up and gripping everything correctly. If you want some good explanations go to videojug.com. He really explains grips and technique well. Second Practice! Practice! Practice! I've become a good putter but it was through hundreds of putts that I was able to learn how to play slopes, speed, and distance. Just keep playing and don't rush into putts, take time and look around the whole green and look at how it changes.

One of the things I teach is what I like to call, "The string drill." Take two new pencils and a length of string at least 5 ft. long. Tie the string around the erasers of the pencils to make the string suspend off the ground about 4-5 inches. Place the pencils in the putting green so the string is taught, and take your stance with your putter head directly below the string. The goal of this drill is to keep the putter head very low to the ground on the back, and through strokes. This allows you to get a better feel for each distance of putt, and keep the stroke more consistent. Also, another tip I give is to count to three... One, being the impact of the putt, then count 2...3... and then look up. By keeping your head still through the stroke, you are able to minimize your body movement, and thus achieve a more consistent stroke.

I hope this helps... let me know if it does!

IMO, true putting struggles come from simply not trusting your alignment and stroke. When you putt, you're like a little robot. Picture yourself as a completely fixed object, and you align your entire body/self/stroke to the target. Once you've done that and addressed the ball, your line is fixed, do not try to change it via the stroke. The only thing you do at that pointis decide how hard to hit it and, again, you must trust the pre-shot read and feel.

No where does the Vision54 idea of THINK BOX and PLAY BOX come into play more than putting. Read your putt from behind, take some practice strokes, feel the speed, decide on your line and speed. When you get over the ball, you have to go into "robot" mode - just make the stroke.

Nothing in the swing is done at the expense of balance.

      Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though.

      Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By iacas ·

      FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By pganapathy ·

      I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
