It's just a matter of hitting the ball where I want to hit it and hopefully making some putts.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Right before I start the putter back, I think about making solid contact. This brings your attention to the back of the ball and helps keep your head still at impact, which is a must. Many amateurs take a peek down the line too soon, and that can cause all sorts of mis-hits.
Unless it's a dead-straight short putt, you should focus on a spot somewhere along the line you want to roll the ball on.
My putting strategy is simple: If you're not making putts, don't be afraid to change your technique.
You have to have fine motor control to make putts when you need them the most. That's why golf is such a challenge - you go from extreme power to slowing down and making putts when you need them.
Before you take your address, while you're still reading the putt, imagine the ball tracking on the line you've chosen and falling into the cup. If you don't believe you can make every putt, why bother trying?
Golf gives and takes. So yeah, sometimes you make those putts, sometimes you just miss them. But that's golf.
You should never get set over the ball and then aim your putter face. If you do it in that order, you can easily lose sight of your intended line. Instead, aim the face down your line first, then settle your body into position.
In football, you're hitting, so you might as well hit in practice.
When I'm on with my putting, I'm as good a putter as there is, probably.
I'm the kind of person that if I try to throw it hard, it doesn't come out as good. So my whole thought process is to stay smooth, stay on top of the ball, and just get my hand out in front.
