The most consistent part of my game has always been putting.
On a round in mid-May I had a stinking day with the flat stick. I’ve had them before of course, but this was different. It was as if I had somehow forgotten how to putt.
Next round even worse and so began the downward spiral to desperation.
5 weeks on and it’s now become a real mental issue. I can hardly hold the club, and were I to be playing me in match play, I wouldn’t give myself a 6-incher.
Anyone been there before and what did you do to conquer it?
The obvious thing is a lesson, but I’m wary, because my putting has always been based on whatever natural ability and feel I have/had.
My problem currently is just this. I’m thinking about what I need to do to putt. I have never ever pondered the mechanics of my stroke, and trying to assimilate something a pro may tell me doesn’t appeal at all. It’s where I am already and is essentially the problem.
Biggest thing currently is that I make an involuntary jerk and flick at impact.
HELP!!! How can I get my former confidence back?
