The Scoring Method explains how to lower scores by managing expectations on 30-foot putts, noting that PGA Tour pros only make these 11% of the time. The instructor demonstrates why focusing on pace rather than the exact line is crucial for avoiding three-putts. By using a target-focused practice technique, golfers can tap into their natural athletic intuition for better distance control.
PGA Tour pros only make about 11% of putts from 30 feet; your primary goal should be a two-putt, not making it.
Avoid the 'never up, never in' mentality if it leads to blowing the ball 6 feet past the hole.
Shift focus from obsessing over a 1-inch line read to prioritizing the correct pace.
Practice your feel by looking at the target while making strokes to engage the same hand-eye coordination used in sports like bowling or basketball.
