Creative Commons License photo credit: TheTruthAbout…   Missing your putts left or right, is far less destructive to your score than missing putts by being too long or too short..  Every golfer, from amateur to professional,  has the same problem,  the majority of putts are missed because the ball is hit too long or it is left too short.  What this tells us is that “touch,” is the key to good putting.

Always work on your “feel” before beginning your round.  What follows is a good exercise:  pick a spot about 30 ft. away, where the green meets the fringe.  Putt the ball and try to get it to stop just as it reaches the fringe.  Don’t aim for a hole because this is not an exercise for accuracy it’s an exercise for feel.
