The WORST advice in golf 🤯

Rick Shiels explains why the common advice 'never up, never in' is actually detrimental to most golfers. He argues that trying to force a putt past the hole can skew your dispersion and leave you with difficult comeback putts, suggesting instead that a focus on natural speed is superior.

• Avoid the mindset that every putt must go past the hole to be successful.
• A 3-foot comeback putt is statistically harder to make than a 1-foot putt left short.
• Treat long putts like approach shots: aim to get them close to the hole rather than forcing them past it.
• Focusing on a '2-foot past the hole' target can negatively impact your overall putting dispersion.
