PRO TIP
of the
MONTH
When it comes to putting there are many different theories on how to putt correctly. Some say
speed is more important than other say line is more important. The question is are you able to
start your putt consistently on your intended line first? Once you are able to start your ball on
the intended line then speed control is everything! Depending on what speed you are going to
putt determines which line you will take. For example, if you have a putt from a close distance
that is breaking 3 inches you have two choices. One choice is to putt it straight and firm or
your second choice is to play the break and putt it softer. When the ball is traveling faster the
less break it will take and vice versa if the ball is traveling slower the more break it will take.
There are a bunch of drills you can do to work on both line and speed control.
I would like to congratulate Mike Jennison on his Hole-in-on. During one of our playing
lessons in November, Mike holed out on #3 from 141 yards. CONGRATS!
If you have any questions about drill speed or green reading feel free to stop by the pro shop
for more information.
Have a wonderful day,
