Stop Overthinking Putts! Do This 3-Second Instinct Trick Instead
Alex Fortey from The Art of Simple Golf presents the 'Look & Go' 3-second instinct routine designed to eliminate tension and overthinking on putts. By focusing on a natural arm-swing motion for feel and quickly pulling the trigger after drawing a target line back to the ball, golfers can trust their natural instincts and hone distance control.
Swing your arm back and forth before putts to tap into natural tempo and speed control.
Treat every putt as a straight putt aimed along your designated target line.
Follow the 3-step process: step into alignment, trace the line back to the ball, and immediately execute the stroke.
Avoid standing over the ball overthinking mechanics, green slope, or past bad shots.
