00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.880
This putting game is three bears, so just like Goldilocks and three bears, you
2
00:00:05.880 --> 00:00:06.160
met these
3
00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:10.160
three bears, one had, you know, one was, the porridge was too hot, one when the
4
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:10.480
porridge
5
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:12.800
was too cold, third it was just right.
6
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:17.840
So I'm going to hit some three to six footers doing one that has too much break
7
00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:18.440
, not enough
8
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:20.520
break, and then just right.
9
00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:25.080
So I'm basically going to try to hit this one putt that just just dies in.
10
00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:31.340
So we'll see how well we can do, so one putt that just dies in that was
11
00:00:31.340 --> 00:00:32.960
actually better
12
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:35.400
than when I was practicing and setting up for this.
13
00:00:35.400 --> 00:00:39.320
Now I'm going to try to hit one straight, which means I'm going to have to take
14
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:40.120
as aggressive
15
00:00:40.120 --> 00:00:46.720
as a line as I can and hit a firm putt, and then the next one I'm going to try
16
00:00:46.720 --> 00:00:47.400
to hit
17
00:00:47.400 --> 00:00:52.660
what would be what I feel just right, which would be a putt that goes about a
18
00:00:52.660 --> 00:00:53.400
foot past
19
00:00:53.400 --> 00:00:55.880
the hole.
20
00:00:55.880 --> 00:01:01.160
So it's a speed control game as well as a visualization, you know, practicing
21
00:01:01.160 --> 00:01:01.760
reading
22
00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:07.440
greens and giving yourself the brain learns really well from differences.
23
00:01:07.440 --> 00:01:10.790
So instead of just trying to get up here and hit the perfect putt, by giving it
24
00:01:10.790 --> 00:01:11.600
this range
25
00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:15.720
I'm able to focus in on what would be optimal a little bit easier.
26
00:01:15.720 --> 00:01:19.600
So add this to your putting routine or putting practice routine, and it'll
27
00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:20.480
really help you
28
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:22.940
with picking the right line when you're on the course.
