Windy Putts

Problem

It is very windy while you are on the putting green.

Cure

If the wind is strong enough to blow your body around while putting then use a wider stance for stability.

Therapy

First, set up as usual. Then widen your stance, so you do not move your head or ball position. Slide your hands down the grip to compensate for the slight height difference of using the wide stance. Because the face of the putter does have loft, allow the shaft to lean slightly forwards to reduce it. Think of rolling the ball to the cup as you make a smooth, level stroke to avoid bouncing the ball on the green.
