Focus on that sound. Realize that the rattle is the desired sound on the course. The more comfortable you feel over the ball, the more putts you are likely to make. Draining a bunch of putts on the practice green will do nothing but help when you stand over a 10-footer for par early in the round. You'll already be a few steps ahead of those who didn't take the time before the round started.
Any great putter has an equal dose of tools and confidence.
Believing that you will make a putt is half the battle. It doesn't matter how good your stroke is if you don't have confidence. Copyright 1999 GolfWeb - A SportsLineUSA Company. All Rights Reserved.
