Ours is like this, the pins are put on run-offs, greens run at 12 and above the hole means likely to be off the green, side slopes means no short second putts. I saw good Harrington video about lag putting and he was saying on the side slopes you effectively can't aim too high.

Same for me actually - meltdown occurred when the conditions changed (our greens get up to 12 on the stimp). Short game has generally suffered as my spinny chips don't spin when it dries up too. Spring seems to be my worst season for golf, have 2 young kids so I don't get loads of time just...

Wow, seems clear as day. Never been a fan of these long putters anyway, makes it a different game.

Thank you for that, a good combination of useful and obvious which means I may actually be able to remember. I definitely think I have lost all sense of a process. One thing which doesn't help me is our club is VERY keen on playing at speed, but most of my shots are on or next to the green...

This is me in a nutshell. I had one of my worst putting days recently at an away match on an unfamiliar course. I was over-reading, reading opposite breaks, missing up/down hill slopes. Was clueless all day. I'm going to do a lot of work on stroke length and tempo so I can get more...

I've read it years ago and have started reading it again. Hopefully can help to get back to basics at least!!

I think green reading is a massive problem. Today I missed multiple putts of hole-able range where I had read the opposite break. I was starting to question my eyesight! A combination of poor distance control and poor reading has probably added up to my stroke creaking. I know I am prone to...

Posting in desperation really, as my putting is spiraling. Background: My HI is 4.3 (not for long) and last year I managed to get my short game very sharp. After winter my distance control was poor but I still holed out well, just risked more 3-putts or didn't give mid-range birdies much...
