So im a 3 handicapper, have been playing my whole life, played in college and still play often and fairly well...

It would be EVEN BETTER if i didnt miss 2-5 putts that are inside 5 feet! I'd be shooting par almost ever time and its frustrating the shit out of me.

Can anyone recommend a drill or any advice to fix this?

Also, i used to use a mallet putter VS a blade (Nike Method Blade) and not have the problem i currently am. Probably switching back to something else mallet. Good move?

THANKS!

Did you Google "putting drills"?

There are millions of them out there.

Why would someone think a mallet would be good for you?

To say that you'd be shooting par almost every time if you didn't miis these putts is crazy.

If everyone made every putt and hit every fairway and every green their scores would be better.

As a "3 " marker, asking anonymous people to recommend something for you seems a little odd.

Also, putts inside five feet are often difficult, so you shouldn't act as if it's amzing or unbeliveable.

Having said that...........

Phil Mickelson's drills are probably worth trying.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I have two very simple tips for you.

  1. Learn about capture speed .
  2. Realize - and then plan for - how much a ball will break even on a 2-5 foot putt.

That's it.
