but 1t is safe to say that the most
hckle club is your putter, and I don't
care whether you are star or g
dufer.
Ordinarily am supposed to be a
good putter, no world beater on the
greens, but generally pretty steady.
But | have found out on this last
trip that on certain days l could putt
as badly as duffer trying to break
100 for the first time. The putter is
the one club that must be watched
closer than any other, for it can play
more tricks on a golfer than anything
else

my putter in that one round than I

suddenly finds himself helpless on the
greens?
One answer is that most Of the mis-
takes made with the other clubs are
physical mistakes-but with putting it
is mostly mental trouble

think that the main effect would be

As a rule, it isn't. When one is

Your touch and your confidence leave

to being helpless. In this state of
mind your nerves begin to Jump and

three strokes on his nearest rival.

these back before they had reached the

Few Suggestions
If the golfer is nearly ALWAYS = had
putter, the best thing for him to do.
II he wants to get anywhere at all
IS to practice every chance he gets,
try out various methods. learn how
% swing back in the right way and
keep his body still.
But the hardest trouble TO take I'M
IS that of good average putter going
wrong.
What can he do about it if it strikes
him without warning, as it generally
docs? Most Of us don't seem to do
anything about it except 70 on miss
ing puts and pray for the end Of the
round.
If that panicky feeling comes on.
believe the best thing one can DO is
to follow these devices:
|. Change your putter.
:. Change the position of YOUR grin
o.. the putter-lift or lower your hands
upon the leather.
3. Relax little, still keeping your
body still.
4. On the shorter puts loosen the
grip with both hands.
:. Make point Of coming bac),
slower. The looser grip viii help
this.
Ii none of these things work, it is
pretty sure sign that you are over
golfed, that you are stale and that
your nerves are out Of control. So the
next move to make is to take a week
or SO of, or at least rest up until you
feel keen for the game again.
Most of the trouble that causes poor
putting comes from tenseness, trying
toe hard.
Try to relax more, to grip less tight
ly. Get more comfortable. See whether
your mistakes are to the left or the
right of the cup. But first of all be
sure that you bring your putter back
more slowly and that you don't hurry
the stroke.
Even with all these precautions there
will be days when the putter won't
work. But there will be fewer days of
such misery, and that is about ali any
one can aim for.
