Over thinking a putt doesn't improve my putting. I putt better when I don't over-analyze the putt

I voted for missed read. After three separate AimPoint classes, if I missed the direction of the break I should just give the game up.

Same for me. Usually it's those putts that have little or no side slope from the read but are long enough where you can miss by six inches.

None I know from keeping stats and experience what to expect. Random missed or made outlier putts don't change my routine. If I miss a short one I know it's an infrequent occurrence and if I make a long one or roll it just short I wasn't expecting it. Putting is so easy it's the one thing in golf I do with conviction.

All missed putts can be disheartening depending on the timing.  What really gets me is to leave a  putt short, especially one that is well read in the 5-12 foot range.

Well Stated dave... I have to agree.  I voted None,  and I was thinking of a very similar response.
