Sometimes it's not technical or mental, sometimes, like myself, it is an inability to read greens/putts.Scheffler 1st in Strokes Gained tee to green.
66th/70 in Strokes Gained putting…
He is the literal polar opposite of “putt for dough”… If he could just find a middle ground with his putting, he would be achieving peak Tiger levels of success.
It’s clearly very much in his head atm, there’s extra focus on his putts, he is over thinking and over reading everything.
Surely there’s a putting coach out there that could resolve whatever his issues are? It’s not even that he needs to learn to putt well, he just needs to putt slightly better!
When I look at a green all I see is flat, no slopes, nuances, just a flat green. It is almost as if I am green reading dyslectic.
My golfing buds can't get their collective heads around it, "you can't see that slope there?" "No! Do you think I'm missing on purpose you *******?" It is incredibly frustrating, and I often wonder how many Pros are similarly inflicted, Lee Westwood being one in particular that seemed to miss putts by too much for it to be a technical issue.
