putting madness

[Split_Fairway]

hi all,just wanted some help with distance putting. lately ive been finding that my pace on my mid-to-long putts is holding me back. the rest of my game is relatively solid and i think that my work with the flat-stick is the only thing keeping me from getting down to single figures. as an example, yesterday i went round my course in 36 points, in monsoon type conditions, and making five 3-putts along the way. any tips?

TBH, off your handicap and considering the poor weather I think it may have been a bit of a one off. When you play in the dry do you have the same probs? It's easy to rush when getting wet,no-one likes playing in those conditions.

If it is a regular problem in ordinary conditions I suggest a putting lesson. The best 45 minute investment I made in a long time and I'm a much better and CONFIDENT putter this season. Other than that there is a product called a v-easy which I hear from a well known forum poster is rather good

the weather may have factored into it but it has happened a few times in the last couple of weeks and i have had a putting lesson about a month ago so i dont think its my putting stroke

Did you 4 putt from 5ft today? If you never then your fine....Im not

It was prob just the weather and the greens being slower.
dont worry about it!!

How often do you practise your long putting though? Most amateurs (myself included) don't practise them enough. It's most frustrating when I hit more greens in regulation but find my score stays the same because I three putt more because my first putt is so long. Dave Pelz's fix for this was to practise the long putts

If you score that regularly off an 11 hcp in monsoon weather, what you really need to do is get a handicap that reflects your playing ability .
