Drew’s Tip of the Month: "When It's All Down Hill...Thing Are Looking Up"
I always emphasizethat to play well golfers need to manage their way around the course. The golf course architect designs certain featuresto the terrain to make the gamemorechallenging. The best advice on managing your way around the course is to always hit to a conservative target that will leave you with an easy next shot, allowingyou to make a confident swing. You do not have to hit perfect shots, just playable ones.Also, keep in mind that middle of the green below the hole is usually a very good leave. You will never have an excessively long putt from the center of the putting surface. However, chasing pins tucked in the corner of the greens, behind bunkers, can result quickly in higher scores, especially if you short side your approach.
Depending on your level of play, we often miss our target, some more than others. Recovering from misplayed shots is what makes the game interesting.One of the most challenging recoveries is the downhill putt. Uphill putts don’t require the same level of creativity as their counterpart. How much will gravity affect the putt and subsequently the stroke?Many golfers will look at their putt from the side to get a feel for whether the putt is uphill, level, or downhill, before determining the break of the putt. The next time you have a downhill putt, take a little more time and look at the putt from below the hole. Looking back up the slope will give you a different perspective than just looking at the putt from behind the ball down the slope.It could be the missing piece that makes your putt go down.
Keep Swinging!

They Said It
“Bad putting is due more to the effect the green has upon the player than it has upon the action of the ball.”
