SM Golf Coaching demonstrates how to eliminate three-putts by shifting focus from aim to speed control. Using the Fringe Drill, golfers learn to develop a natural feel for distance by putting to the edge of the green rather than a specific hole.
Prioritize speed over line to ensure your first putt leaves a manageable second attempt.
Practice putting to the fringe to remove the psychological pressure of 'making' the putt.
Develop a consistent tempo where the backstroke and through-stroke are rhythmic and balanced.
Focus on the weight of the putter head to gauge distance rather than just using your arms.
