I know you watch pro golf events on television see the camera shots going back and forth to different golfers making one putts from all over the place. The Phil Mickelson putting stroke is famous for this, especially when he is on fire.
Next, you are inspired and go out and play golf with your buddies and constantly watch two, three and four putts all day. What in the world is the secret to these pros making so many putts?
No, it is not tied to their putting technique. Whether it is Phil, Tiger or Jack, they all use a different style of putting and yet are each very successful at putting. Well, one of the secrets lies in their ability to setup the same way over every single putt.
But how do you achieve this type of consistency. It is not by just haphazardly going out and practicing your putting. You need to be able to monitor each area of your setup during your practice.
For example, one very important area is the setup of your eyes over the putt.
Well, just how are you going to make sure that your eyes are in the same place every time when you are practicing your putting? Think about it. It is pretty hard to come up with a way to do it, isn't it?
I should say that it is impossible without someone constantly watching you or without training aids. That is why some of the best putting training aids are the mirror training aids that allow you to constantly monitor your eyes so that you make sure they are the same over every putt.
That is why the pro's putt so consistently. They are working with tools and trainers that build consistency into their eye position and every other area of their putting. But, with the right training aids, even we amateurs can do the same. Then maybe we too can go out and have four one putts back to back like the pros --- like Phil Mickelson.
