Oh where or where has my putter gone?

[Celler]

Played the first round of the season this past weekend. I've been hitting the range in the off-season so my iron play was fair with the exception of a few chunky shots, but I hit most greens.

The flat stick however, was just no where to be found .. I was shaking like a leaf even on little 3 footers and blowing it by the hole. I ruined my round by three even four putting on numerous holes!

How do I get out of this fast!?

Hit the practice green. Pick 4 stations around the hole and putt 3-4 footers until your confident with those putts. Then practice 20-25 footers for speed. This should help a little without seeing if you have the proper stroke.

+1, i agree. i was recently struggling with my putter big time. i had 8, yes 8, 3 putts in one round and that was the final straw. i then spent the next 2 days on the putting green (around 10 hours) and practiced practiced practiced. it helped. the next round i played i was so much more comfortable, and best off all: no 3 putts and none since

Nothing that 1000 different putts on the putting green won't solve....

Chipping and putting is the first thing to go, and the last thing to come back after a long break. Don't worry too much about it. Just play, and get on the putting green for a bit to get some feel back.

its all in your head line up the putt and confident stroke thats all putting is.....your head
