TCT Quick Tips -  Don't Change Your Stroke Too Soon
====================================================


Great putters don't give up and change strokes every time they miss a few putts. 
Great putters almost make every putt, even though they miss a lot more than they 
make. But all great putters have a stroke that they are committed to perfecting, 
and they spend their careers working on it to make it better.

Golf Tip: Tracking Your Putt Speed
====================================================


During one of the Advanced Putting Lessons last week, I mentioned 
a good way to track if the speed of your putts during a round of golf 
is "up to par" or not.

One of the students asked me to elaborate and I decided to share
my answer as this week's tip, here it is:

"Hi Mark, when you miss a putt on the high side, which would be 
above the hole for a breaking putt, or when you miss a fairly straight putt 
with a putt that's too long, mark an A on your card next to your score for the hole.

When you miss a putt on the low side - below the hole for a breaking putt, 
of if you leave a putt short, mark a B on your card next to the score for that hole.

If the A's and B's balance out, or if there are more B's than A's, the speed of 
your putts needs to be addressed.

If there are about 65% A's on the card, your speed is probably pretty good."

Thanks for the question Mark....

Enjoy, Tom
