Putting is 2 Different Games

▷▷▷Putting is 2 Different Games

It is often said that golf and putting are two different games. To a large degree that assessment is correct. Although both are required on every shot, golf is more about power while putting is more about control.

What you never hear about is that putting itself is actually two different games. I break these down to putts under ten feet and putts over ten feet. I don't expect to make a very high percentage of the longer putts, but I expect to make every ten foot and shorter putt I have.

It requires two different kinds of skills to hit the two different kind of putts. On longer putts, speed is the most important thing, followed very closely by speed. On shorter putts, line becomes more important, followed very closely by speed.

Longer putts require a little more attention to speed because the more ground the ball has to roll over the more difficult it is to gauge the speed. On a five footer, the speed is a lot easier to gauge. Putting follows along the with rest of golf in that respect. The farther you get away from the hole the more difficult it becomes.

Shorter putts, ten feet and less, require a totally different mindset that any other golf shot. Rather than being golf, short putting is a simple target game. Just like any other game or sport where the object is to hit a target, it requires a focus on the target if you are going to succeed.

So golf is really three different games, with putting being two of them. By using the fundamentals of a target game in your short putting, you will automatically start to putt better. After all, it is a built in instinct to be able to propel an object to specific target. You just need to learn how to use that instinct with a putter in your hand.
