Take a ball, and toss it underhand to someone. I bet the distance is spot on. So, you do have feel. Distance is judged with your eyes, and some days your eyes get off a little. If I notice I'm leaving putts a little short, I start looking at the back of the hole or a little past when lining up my putt. If I have a very fast downhill putt, I look short of the hole. This helps my eyes adjust to the speed of the greens.

This is method works best for me as well. I imagine a hole further away when I'm struggling with coming up short. At the putting green I actually put a ball 24 inches behind the hole and put to that. Works great for me.

      Well, not a fairway, but not in trouble either.  That's a start.

      https://thesandtrap.com/b/playing_tips/filming_your_swing It helps too if: we can see all of you (and at least most of the clubhead's travel) you trim away the stuff that isn't your swing From what I could see this topic might benefit you:

      They're over-rated, yes, but I don't know that he can continue to drive it that well and have alleyways and so on through the trees.

      Let's hope the 90th in driving accuracy and his sometimes loose iron shots (hooks, pushes) don't end up as his undoing too though. I doubt it happens, but that stat is a possible harbinger. His short game/putting has been somewhat unsustainable.  Just playing devil's advocate here. I agree on this course especially ending up in the 1st or 2nd cuts doesn't mean much. And when he's been in the pine straw he's been able to wedge his 3rd decently close and then make the putt.  But I find it unlikely he collapses given his driving is his strength and he's due to stripe them down the middle today. Just saying tho.
