Stop making practice strokes like this! #golf #viralshorts #putting

In this putting instructional tip, Cordie Walker of GolfWell explains why traditional, robotic practice strokes fail to help with distance control on the greens. He demonstrates how taking practice strokes while looking directly at the target helps calibrate touch and swing length for better speed control.

• Stop taking mindless practice strokes while looking down at the ball location.
• Turn your eyes to look directly at the hole or target while making your practice strokes.
• Use target visual feedback to gauge the necessary stroke length and rhythm.
• Step into the actual stroke holding onto the exact feel created during the target-focused practice stroke.
