Tip of the Week:

We have all arrived at the course, at times, later than we wanted and unable to really practice or warm up. I have found that to help my tempo and relax and get that “rushed” feeling toned down, I putt a few long putts from the edge of one side of the green trying to stop the ball at or near the edge of the other side.

If there is time, I do this until I feel I have calmed down. This also works with short pitch shots where the drill is to hit the ball squarely.

At first you will probably hit the ball all over the clubface. After you relax and get your tempo back you will find you will start hitting the ball in the sweet spot. . ........JACK BERTRAM, Director Tournament Operations, Texas Golf Company
