“90% of all putts left short don’t go in.” I’ve used that taunt a few times, even though it’s quite obvious that it’s just a gag. Every putt left short won’t go in, and Dave Pelz has taught us that the best speed for a putt is that which makes it stop 17 inches past the hole. Practice hitting your putts at a speed that puts the ball one to two feet behind the hole and you’ll make more putts, even if it’s simply because you don’t leave as many short.
Putt Long
Make sure you get your putt to the hole.
