Putt For Dough!

[Mulligan Jeff]

Steve Stricker is always near the top of the list of best putters on tour. His putting stroke is certainly one to emulate. I like the hands ahead of putterhead set up it encourages solid contact.

I would like to know the finer points of putting - it seems the putter is the least talked about. If I read correctly Tiger used a dominant right hand. What key points do you focus on for putting?

slow back and intentional swing through the ball (follow through)

take the club back 1/2 as far as swing past the ball.

Focus on where you are aiming and not the cup (read the break, pick a spot, line up to the spot, and imagine hitting the ball to that spot)

Thank you are you left or right hand dominant? How important is a forward press?

You want to understand putting? Read Pelz's Putting Bible. Everything you wanted and didn't want to know about putting. Made me a better putter and I don't get as upset about the missed ones, though I can't help but think about donuts every time I see the hole.

Thanks for the insight I'be got some reading to do.
