Never-up Never-in

photo credit: idovermani   The phrase “never-up, never-in” is more pertinent than you may think.  Ben Crenshaw, one of the game’s truly outstanding putters, said ” there are four ways to miss a putt – left, right, short and long.”

Follow this:  most putts will always be missed left or right, that means you will be long.  You can eliminate one of the four possibilities by making certain that you are never, ever short with your putts.  That’s where the phrase never-up, never-in comes from.  If you do not hit your putt/s hard enough you will be short, therefore, not giving the put an opportunity to go in the cup.  Sooner or later, if you keep going past the cup, your putts will start dropping and so will your scores.
