Bill was spot on. To just jump on the band wagon a bit, I try to think
of using a mental word t get the putt moving. Most days I might "roll"
the ball. Some days I might "draw" the ball toward the hole. There
have been times I try to have the putter face "linger" as it moves the
ball forward. I also try to have the club face follow down the line
and hold it until the ball gets near the hole. One must stay away from
the dreaded recoil. Ah, if I could only remember the things I try to
remember while putting

A Bit of Golf Trivia
What are two reasons why Freddie Couples is called
Boom Boom? (answers are below)

Joe,
I cannot sink a 3 foot putt for the life of me. I have
heard about the yips but this is ridiculous. I have
tried just about everything. I need one more idea
please.
Blane

Hello Blane,
Never fear, here is an idea that works so good you can
do it with your eyes closed. First with your eyes
open, take the clubhead back about 2 or 3 inches and
stop. Before you complete the stroke, make sure the
clubface is pointed directly at the hole, and convince
yourself that your forward stroke is going to keep the
clubface square to the hole all the way during the
follow thru. The reason this works is because some
twisting may be taking place during a continuous
backswing and forward stroke. By stopping after the
backswing you can be fairly sure that no twisting has
taken place, and you can remind yourself that you are
not going to allow any more twisting during the
forward stroke. If you can get your mind to believe it
can feel keeping the clubface square, you can close
your eyes before the forward stroke and you will make
the putt just about every time because there are no
visual distractions that might be causing your yips.
In other words you cannot look up too soon if you are
not looking at all. Just feel the clubface staying
square.
Joe

Joe,
What advice do you have for the problem of chunking
and skulling chips and pitches, even when I try to hit
down properly?
Milton

Hi Milton,
Keep your head as steady as you can, and during the
follow thru, keep the clubface open to the target, do
not allow the wrists to roll over.
Joe

Question for the Evil Twin:
Jody, which is your least favorite shot and what can
you say about it?
Answer: I hate the cut draw, also known as the double
cross, when you try to hit a cut but your hands roll
over and you hit a draw instead. While the ball is
still in flight, I usually say STAY ON THE PLANET.

Answers to the above Trivia Question: Fred is
nicknamed Boom Boom not only for his long drives, but
also after a pop singer from the 1960s named Freddie
Boom Boom Cannon.
