Persevere on putting

Persevere on putting

Ben Hogan once said that "putting is a different game" and there's a fair number of us mere mortals who would concur with that.

Putting is seldom taught and may be the least understood part of the game and seeing how putts will roll may not be second nature to the vast majority of us.

Many a good player has been tempted to end their misery rather than see any more of their putts slide by the hole.

If you're a bad putter and have tried to improve without success, it is easy to conclude: "I just can't putt."

But that's not true because putting is a simple series of physical motions using a flat-faced stick to roll a round 'well-balanced' ball on a relatively smooth surface, under the essentially unknown scientific influences of gravity, slope and green speed _ a piece of cake really!
