Episode notes
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.
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.
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.
