Episode notes
Putting Is A Disrespected, Complex Skill
- Putting is the most disrespected discipline in golf because many players and coaches treat it as simple rather than a specialist skill.
- Brendan Flynn says putting is a complex, teachable skill and a revolution is underway producing elite dedicated putters.
Start With Stance, Mirror Work And Speed
- Do practice stance, mirror work, and speed as starting points for all skill levels.
- Focus speed practice on five-footers and short inputs before obsessing about long lag speed.
Prioritise Lag Speed To Avoid Three-Putts
- Avoid trying to make every long putt; prioritize speed to avoid three-putts and leave it makeable.
- Train to hit lag putts to the right distance rather than ripping at the hole from range.
