Focus On The Hole, Not The Putter #golfswing #golftips
PGA instructors from Me and My Golf demonstrate the 'Looking at the Hole' putting drill to help golfers improve their distance control. By shifting focus from the putter's path to the target, players can reduce mechanical tension and tap into their natural intuition for a smoother stroke. This technique, famously utilized by Jordan Spieth, is an effective way to stop over-controlling the putter and start holing more putts.
Over-focusing on the putter's path can rob you of natural feel and intuition.
Looking at the hole instead of the ball during the stroke helps you tune into the required distance.
Take practice swings while looking at the target to calibrate the feel before the actual putt.
This method promotes a freer, smoother, and more consistent putting motion.
Switching focus to the target helps prevent the 'controlling' sensation in the backswing.
