Most of us have drained that long putt before. You know, that 25+ footer that seems to track to the hole right after it leaves the putter face. Even though we know it’s all luck, we instantly gain confidence in our overall putting skills, which usually translate to a good putting for the rest of [...]

Draining that Long Putt

Short summary: This is not a golf course 
I have nothing against compact courses or 9 hole courses, far from.
Par 3 courses, 6 hole courses all give you the advantage of being able to play but not needing 4 hours to play the whole course.
However I`m expecting a little bit of quality from…

Practice Really Does Make Perfect
July 26th, 2008 — , Chip Shots, Golf Basics, Golf Tips, Practice, Putting, driving range from Jack @ The Golf Slice
I bet you’ve been practicing hard for the weekend and you are now ready to go back to work for the week and then next weekend go back to try and burn the course up. I’ll say now that, that’s highly unlikely going to happen and that’s because if you want to succeed, golf is [...]
Great shots per day
June 13th, 2008 — , Golf, Putting, golfblogs, shots from GoofyGolfer @ Goofy Golfer - Goofy Golfer , hitting balls all over the planet
Do you ever think you only have a limited number of good shots per day.
Like you can only hit 40 good shots per day , only it doesn’t matter where.. so if you hit 20 good shots on the driving range , you only have 20 left on the course
I have that idea sometimes.. great shots on the driving…

The Art of Sinking Short Putts
June 2nd, 2008 — , Progress, Putting, about from The Artful Golfer @ The Artful Golfer
Last month I finally achieved my goal of breaking through a 3.0 index after getting stuck here several times before. I’m now down to 2.5! This progress continues a trend of cutting my index by about one half in each of my three years playing. I got down under 9 my first year, 4 my second year, and am now approaching 2. The key has been getting up and down more frequently and making more 4-8 foot
A Simple Method For Lining Up A Putt
May 16th, 2008 — , Putting from Jack @ The Golf Slice
It’s apparently putting week here at the Golf Slice. I talk about it a lot on this blog (probably way too much) but it’s such an important part of the game of golf and people have such a hard time with it that I feel its important to discuss it as much as possible.
I thought [...]
Using Grass Direction To Judge A Putt
May 12th, 2008 — , Putting from Jack @ The Golf Slice
You might want to file this under the “Hardcore Golfer” category but some people like to get down and find out which way the grass on a green is growing before they putt.
The theory, I suppose, is that grass growing towards the hole will make the ball run faster to the cup. Then the opposite [...]
Control Your Eyes When You Putt
April 18th, 2008 — , Putting from Jack @ The Golf Slice
Here’s a simple tip or suggestion for those of you (and myself included) who sometimes have a little trouble sinking putts. A good way to blow a putt is to take your eyes off the ball. This is a classic symptom of trouble in a lot of sports actually.
When you’re putting don’t quickly raise your [...]
Simple Advice When Buying A New Putter
March 27th, 2008 — , Golf Clubs, Putting, putter from Jack @ The Golf Slice
Buying golf clubs is generally a very intimidating experience. There’s so much to choose from and that’s especially true when it comes to putters. You have different lengths, different heads and different grips. It’s a madhouse.
The thing to keep in mind when buying a new putter is to remember you’ll be using it more than [...]
I’m Not A Fan Of Long Putters
February 25th, 2008 — Golf Clubs, Putting, putter from Jack @ The Golf Slice
A lot of golfers are using long putters more and more it seems. Personally, I’m just not a big fan of these longer putters but plenty of people would disagree with me.
The argument for using one of these non-traditional putters is that they allow you to create a more natural, pendulum-like stroke when you’re on [...]
Putting From A Bunker
February 11th, 2008 — Bunker Shots, Putting, crazy shots from Jack @ The Golf Slice
In all honestly, putting from out of a bunker is going to be an absolutely terrible idea 99.99999999% of the time.
Yet under a very specific set of conditions it might be possible and in your best interest to try and putt your golf ball out of the sand instead of using a wedge.
Here’s my list [...]
My Artful Putter
February 8th, 2008 — , Hockey, Hockey Stick Putter, Putting from The Artful Golfer @ The Artful Golfer
My golf game is very influenced by hockey. I’m often told that it looks like I’m taking a slap shot when I drive the ball. There’s no doubt that my natural ability to hit down on the ball with my irons comes from my artful slap shot. I’m even known for bringing out my Happy Gilmore swing every few rounds when faced with a wide range-like fairway. I like to end my practice sessions on the range
Online StoresIt’s Simple… Just Putt Straight
January 31st, 2008 — Putting from Jack @ The Golf Slice
The reality about golf is that it’s really a pretty simple game. People like you and I just make it tough by overanalyzing things and worrying about the little stuff while avoiding the obvious.
This is painfully true when it comes to putting.
The key to a good putt is to hit it straight down your [...]

Remember Neil? He is the friend I wrote about in an article for World Golf who has had the putting yips for years.
Neil has learned to live with his affliction and recently improved even more. I loaned him this book, which he says actually helped quite a bit. The biggest difference? He doesn’t care anymore. [...]
