what I would do is try and take a slower backswing while putting. A slower backswing provides a slower follow-through.

If that doesn't work, try and keep your head down as long as you can. Count "one miss-iss-ippi" after you hit the ball.

hope this helps!

Try hitting a few not looking at the ball or with your eyes closed. (yes I said with you eyes closed haha) When you putt with your eyes closed, try to guess how far each ball rolled. That'll give you a better feel maybe. Helped me a LOT

What ^ said.

One tip I love to share with others is the use of your feet as a reference point - if you have a practice green at the course in question, find a flat portion of it and take your normal stance. Putt the ball using your feet as putting arc boundaries keeping the same 1-2 tempo. I find that this gives me a good reference as to how far the ball rolls given that swing arc. Adjust accordingly for your 5-footer but remember to keep the same 1-2 arc tempo whether its shorter or longer than your feet width :)

    • Day 556 - 2026-04-10 Played another 17 holes, this time skipping #11 to pass a group that was still on 14 when we were finishing up. 😛 Not as good as yesterday, but more distracted by the mind's eye.
    • Yes, you've gone on about it for like 20 years now. 😉 
    • I really do find the masters stuffed shirts to be insufferable. Or is it instufferable?
    • I'm hearing this morning that Robert MacIntyre may be facing some sort of discipline (probably a stern warning) for the finger incident on 15 yesterday.  It dawns on me his upbringing would have been during Tiger's prime years -- he's 29 now, and would have been in elementary school in the early 21st century.  Someone should tell him that the swearing wasn't what made Tiger great at golf.   Or John Daly (or Don January?) or whoever else we associate with both being good at golf and producing choice words on television.
