Putt Your BEST: Ditch Mechanics & FOCUS On An Intermediate TARGET

PGA Teaching Professional Bob Menzies demonstrates how to transform your putting by shifting focus from internal mechanics to external targets. By utilizing an intermediate target and the 'jiggle putting drill,' golfers can achieve mental freedom and more consistent start-line accuracy.

• Identify an intermediate target like a blade of grass roughly 6-12 inches in front of the ball.
• Eliminate mechanical tension by using a small 'jiggle' or waggle of the putter before starting the backstroke.
• Trust your alignment to the intermediate spot rather than constantly re-checking the hole.
• Focusing on a close target simplifies the stroke and improves start-line consistency.
