Hate Putting

Problem

You no longer enjoy putting.

Cure

Work on improving your putting skills and you might find that putting will feel like less of a task. Sometimes the excitement of sinking a sweet putt is enough to get you excited about your short game.

Therapy

Challenge yourself on the putting green. Work on your extremely difficult putts. Sometimes for players this is 5 feet from the hole and for others it is over 3 yards. Place a bunch of balls around the hole in a heart shape or any other shape, number, or letter that you are fond of. An encouraging shape can help ingrain a positive image into your mind and it also gives you a good variety of distances and break. Practice putting from each location until you sink every one of them.
