Back It Up

Problem

You and your cart buddy are having difficulty putting.

Cure

Make sure your eyes are parallel to your target line and are over the ball at set up. If by the time you have completed 9 holes and your putting skills have not improved, turn the back nine into a practice game while on the green. This let you work on your putting before your next game.

Therapy

After you both have landed a ball onto the green, select the ball that is furthest from the cup. Both should putt from this location. If you do not sink the putt from this location, move the ball back three feet from where it lies and putt it. So, if you keep coming up short or rolling past the hole, you will have a lot of practice with your three or four foot putts.
