FIX Your Putting Forever With This SIMPLE Pre Shot Routine
PGA instructor Scott Yurgalevicz and Tour coach Mike Dynda demonstrate how a structured pre-shot routine can eliminate inconsistency on the greens. Dynda explains why setting the putter face before the body is critical for alignment and how deep breathing regulates performance under pressure. The video provides a step-by-step breakdown of a professional-level routine designed to improve distance control and focus.
Always set the putter face to the target line before positioning your feet or body.
Incorporate long, slow exhales to lower your heart rate and manage nerves before the putt.
Practice strokes should be about 'feeling' the distance by looking at the hole, not focusing on technique or path.
Aim for a consistent routine timing (e.g., 10-12 seconds from walking in to pulling the trigger).
Avoid 'paralysis by analysis' by staying in a reactive, athletic state rather than overthinking mechanics on the green.
