Had a nightmare on the greens yesterday with 41 (yes 41) putts.

It came out of nowhere as I have actually been putting, and in particular holing out, pretty well this season. I'm hoping it was just one of those days, as i wasn't missing on any side in particular. If anything, after leaving some agonisingly short, I was rushing a little in an attempt to be positive, cue the 4/5 footers coming back !!!!!

So what's your routine ?? Do you take a lot of care over a putt, examining the contours from each side?? or, do you just take a couple of looks when stood over your ball, have a practice stroke and then hit it ??
 
I do like to have a good look at the long putts especially the last few feet just to see what the balls going to do right at the end.however the short putts i think im over analizing sometimes and probably need to maybe have a quicker look and hit process.
