Ritter Tip - Putting

Do you worry about your tiddlers?

Stop sniggering at the back. This isn't  another spam advert claiming to 'enhance' your best bits to impress the ladies.

This is about nailing those short putts. Funk doctor Ritter is going to give you some sage advice on making those pesky five footers. If Rocco Mediate read this a few days ago he'd have a major in his over sized back pocket by now.

Short Putt Success

Drop Anchor

Short putts are all about accuracy. That means keeping your body quiet and steady as you stroke. To remedy excess body movement, “anchor” your weight on your front foot, feeling nearly your entire weight pressing into the turf.

Take Dead Aim

The right attitude makes all the difference. Watch Tiger putt the short ones and you’ll see a player who treats a short putt like an NBA player treats a slam dunk. Take “Dead Aim” and knock it right into the back of the cup.

Hit and Hold

Club face control is your number one asset to getting your ball rolling on your intended line. Get in the habit of “holding your finish” so that the putter face square to your target line.
