Scott Munroe Quick Tip

NOW HERE'S GREG MONROE, GOLF MAGAZINES TOP 100 TEACHER, WITH A QUICK TIP ON PUTTING. LET’S DO A DRILL THAT YOU CAN ALL DO AT HOME, YOU CAN ALL DO AT THE GOLF COURSE. IT’S ONE OF THE BEST DRILLS YOU CAN DO TO GET A PENDULUM TYPE MOTION AND, YOU MIGHT WANT TO PUTT THIS WAY. IT’S THE TWO-TEE DRILL. WHAT WE’RE GOING TO DO IS PUT THE TEES IN THE GROUND. THIS IS FOR YOU PEOPLE WHO TRY TO TAKE THE PUTTER BACK SHORT AND ACCELERATE. WE WANT TO GET MORE OF A PENDULUM-LINE MOTION AND, THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN CHASING AFTER THE BALL TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND HAVING BEEN PUTTING WHILE DOING THAT, THIS WILL HELP YOU SWING THE PUTTER BACK AND DROP IT ON THE BACK OF THE BALL. ALL THE GREAT PUTTERS DO THIS; THEY SWING THE PUTTER BACK, THEY DROP IT ON THE BALL. AS YOU CAN SEE, THE MOMENTUM AND THE WEIGHT OF THE PUTTER, WHICH HAPPENS TO BE ONE OF THE HEAVIEST CLUBS IN YOUR BAG, WILL GO FORWARD. WE’RE GOING TO TAKE OUR TWO TEES, STICK THEM IN THE GROUND RIGHT NEXT TO THE BALL, GIVE YOURSELF A LITTLE ROOM, PUT THEM IN AS TIGHT AS POSSIBLE, AND IT WILL LOOK LIKE THIS. THEN, WE’RE GOING TO TAKE OUR NORMAL STANCE. WE’RE GOING TO GET SET UP. FROM HERE, WE’RE GOING TO STROKE IT BACK, DROP THE PUTTER ON THE BALL. I HAD ENOUGH MOTION WHERE THE PUTTER WENT BACK, I DROPPED IT ON THE BALL. DON’T TRY TO ACCELERATE THE PUTTER, DO WHAT THE GREAT PUTTERS DO. STROKE IT BACK, DROP IT ON THE BALL. DO THIS DRILL FOR A WHILE AND YOU'RE REALLY GOING TO IMPROVE YOUR PUTTING.
