The short putts are killing me! Give me a twenty footer I will put it 1" away. Show me 2'-5' and I can miss the hole and blow by 2'. What are you guys reading  or watching?

I'm a big fan of Geoff Mangum. More than you ever wanted to know about putting on his website. http://puttingzone.com He did a video with Steve Elkington recently that I highly recommend as well http://www.therealityofputting.com/

I like the method described by Utley the most.  I've read most of the others.  Stockton is similar and his aiming technique is interesting.

I like Geoff Mangum's information in terms of what happens during a putt. I like Utley's method of actual putting. I like AimPoint's method of green reading.

The biggest lightbulb moment for my putting is the feeling of the front shoulder going up vertically during the putt.

I really liked Dr. Rotella's book "Putting Out Of Your Mind." I listened to an audio version with him reading many times on a cross-country trip. Did great things for my putting -- especially on that trip. I made everything that week.

As the title suggests, it is mostly about thinking rather than technique.

I scratched the CD badly and it will not play. I plan to buy a second copy for my next long trip. I'm an audio kind of guy and I really liked having his voice in my ear.

Thanks for the reply 1puttit. I visited the site . Seemed a little busy and did not know how to navigate the site. I watched a few videos  I found them interesting and fun. Kind of reading pelz's theory or science on the short game.

      I Love Charley Hull Now and Agree With Her Completely

      By jxdama ·

      Its way past time both tours  have  major  penalties for  slow  play. I  hate  it when they say" This group is  on the  clock". Big damn deal. Issue  penalties. Maybe Hull is a  bit too harsh but  its time a slew  of  2 stroke  penalties start  being  issued.     Charley Hull is fed up with slow play on the LPGA, so she offered a ‘ruthless’ solution “I’m quite ruthless, but I said, ‘Listen, if you get three bad timings, every time it’s a tee shot penalty; if you have three of them, you lose your Tour card instantly.’ I’m sure that would hurry a lot of people up, and they won’t want to lose their Tour card. That would kill the slow play, but they would never do that.” Who knows if that will work. But if it does not, maybe the PGA Tour should adopt Hull’s idea. The LPGA should, too, or at least assess penalty strokes for slow play. Five-hour rounds for a final group on Sunday is unacceptable and a quick way to lose interest and engagement from fans.

      A hair under 190. It was pretty downhill, though, so I think we were playing between 180-185 to the pin. My 6 iron went 187 according to shot scope and ended up 18 feet away.

      That's a tough pin on 14 at TR, had to make the hole play much longer, how far was that shot? I've only played that hole with a front pin.

      No, but I spent (marginally) less time in the trees at Southern Pines, so it definitely played wider for me 😆. It definitely felt wider.
