4-5 ft putts killing me - need any advice on how you approach them

[saevel25]

I would say most missed short putts are do to the inability to either aim their putter on the line they want or start the putts on the line they want.

That may or may not be due to a golfer moving their head. I would say that's a small percentage.

I approach most if my putts by walking up to them 

I can see the line better if I walk from below the hole to the ball 

if the ball is above the hole or level but breaking side hill then sometimes I have circle once to get the feel of the break with my eyes and feet

If you have trouble with short putts, hit them with tons of speed. They won't go in, but at least you won't be left with another short one!

I am a fan of having them end up half a foot short. That way you are left with a tap in :p
