Rep Power: 0  | What is your pre-putt routine? Title says it all folks... First I remove my glove. For the past 4 years I have putted with my glove on. After wearing a glove, I have decided I can "feel" the club better w/o one on. Then behind the ball and get my line. I typically do not look at my line from every angle. I have found that my first look at the line is normally the right one and looking at it from other angles just gives my mind more than I need to compute. On occation I will get different views of the line. Normally on really long snake putts. I will find a spot about 2 feet in front of the ball that I want the ball to travel over to find the hole. I step over my ball and while keeping a eye on the spot the whole time. Once I line up properly I completely forget about that spot and the "line". I now focus on my power. I get the best read from behind so me rethinking my shot from over the ball will cause a miss, but I digress... I will step away from the ball about 4 inches and take 2 or 3 swings to guage my power. I step up to the ball and hit. I maybe 3 putt 1 time a round. I have many 1 putts and no matter how far away or how crooked the line I will 70% of the time 2 putt. I think I avaraged about 1.75 putts per hole last round and that is fairly typical. So what works for you? |

Rep Power: 0  | First i put my ball on the green, then i walk up to it make sure it is clean. Next I stand behind it and hit it in and then clap my hands quickly followed by moving them up and down, saying im moeny. That is it. Simple as that |

Rep Power: 0 | Well if I'm up first I go up behind the hole facing my ball, and have a quick read, and then move behind my ball and face the hole, and read it. Once I've read it I get up to the ball, take 1-3 practice strokes, to make sure my arms lock. And just tap it in, just tap it in, tappy tap tap it in. Can anyone tell me where thats from? And if I have some time I just read it a little more from both sides. |

Rep Power: 0 | Quick read. Trust my first instinct - always. Pick a spot to go over 6" in front of the ball on line. One look at the hole. Putt. |

Rep Power: 0 | Happy gilmore. i've found that the more time i spend messing around on the green the more likely i am to miss the putt, so i just walk up, quick read, and it's in the hole. |
