Right GM-ers, I need links (or embed) to the best 'how to not putt like a douche' videos on youtube.

Thank yow.

I'm interested, as this happens to me too often for my liking.

It pretty much always is a problem with getting the distance right. I seem to have no 'touch'.

Partly practice and probably something technical. Maybe something to do with a pre shot routine.... Because of the weather, I haven't been able to practice at all, but if I see anything interesting on the tube I'll be out there, now that the weather has decided to get a couple of degress above freezing.

Bet if this thread was called "How can I hit my drives really, really, far" I would have had 5 pages of responses by now

My advice is rather than self diagnose get a 30 minute lesson and get a PGA pro to check your swing and address. I bet he will see the problem in minutes and can really get your stroke working efficiently. Then all you have to do is work on it

Can't putt, can't get the pace, can't read the greens..... or the holes are crowned?

holes are crowned?

Thats my "go to" excuse!

I had a putting lesson last year, found it really beneficial, though my problem prior to the lesson was concentrating to much on taking the putter back in a straight line, which meant I was gripping the club too tight, decelerating and putting like a prat!!

I'd recommend a lesson, so long as your pro doesn't try to build a stroke for you, putting a all about the feel and should come naturally to you.

Some say there is no "right" way to putt.
However, if you watch the best putters, they tend to use a similar method.
Lower half VERY STILL
Arms extended, upper arms held into the sides and no wrist hinge.
Moving the lower half is a common error I see.
This clip may help.
Keep both cheeks pressed against the chair and your hips wont turn

Whatever you do, don't copy Michelle Wie.......

I read the lines of the putt excellently. The main issue is pace.

I don't have any kind of 'feel' off the clubface. It's not that I don't commit to the shot, I certainly do.

Feel a little concerned that on the follow through my left elbow seems to separate more and rise up.

Think a lesson is the way to go.

Lessons, V-Easy, and a putting mirror, and lots of practice.
