Last Few Feet

Problem

Your long putts roll true to your line yet you still miss cup.

Cure

Walk along your line, up to the cup. Pay close attention to the last few feet. Try to get a feel for how the ball will react around the hole and decide where you plan on the ball entering into the cup.

Therapy

The ball reacts to the break differently based on the speed. So, a few feet from the hole, stand along the side of your intended line and imagine that you are putting from this location. How would you expect the ball roll from here into the cup? Now go back to the ball and use this information to help you decide how to putt it.
