ADVICE

Dial In Your Putting With A Chalk Line

  • Put a chalk line or use a putting mirror to warm up for 5–15 minutes before sessions.
  • Use it to check face angle by watching whether the ball rolls left or right of the line.
ADVICE

Use Alignment Checks Every Time

  • Use an alignment stick or club on the ground to check your feet and target line before you hit shots.
  • Correct alignment prevents aiming errors that can cause over-the-top swings and other compensations.
ADVICE

Treat Your Grip As A Nonnegotiable Checkpoint

  • Make grip checks a pre-shot checkpoint to keep hand position consistent across days and tournaments.
  • Fixing small grip variances removes shot-to-shot variability and improves performance.
