A free-flow<strong>in</strong>g stroke that allows <strong>the</strong> ball to f<strong>in</strong>d <strong>the</strong><br />

middle of <strong>the</strong> face is <strong>the</strong> recipe for success. I see too<br />

many people gett<strong>in</strong>g bogged down with <strong>the</strong>ir putt<strong>in</strong>g<br />

action and over-complicat<strong>in</strong>g th<strong>in</strong>gs – sw<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g to<br />

set po<strong>in</strong>ts depend<strong>in</strong>g on distance, despite a range<br />

of variables (i.e. green speed, slope, green quality<br />

etc, etc) is a classic example. This easy, four-step<br />

method is a great way of free<strong>in</strong>g up <strong>the</strong> stroke<br />

and works on any length of putt. Count as fast as<br />

<strong>the</strong> second hand on a watch ticks. To help you <strong>in</strong><br />

practice, say it under your breath, remember<strong>in</strong>g<br />

you strike <strong>the</strong> ball on <strong>the</strong> count of four.<br />
