Having more birdie putts is directly correlated with lower handicaps... hit more greens and you're a lot more likely to shoot lower scores. Today I'll dive into each of these seven tips so you can hit more greens every single round. When you listen, you will learn:  Why you need to dial in your distances. The importance of clubbing up to avoid trouble.  How many greens you should hit based on handicap. Why you should stop trying to hit different shot shapes.  How the right clubs can help you have more looks at birdie.

Let's talk about a scary topic - the yips! Putting is one of the five pillars of playing "wicked smart golf" and key to shooting lower scores. However, sometimes issues arise and that's what happened a few weeks ago. Luckily, with the help of a few coaches/guests on the show + hard work, I think (or hope) I'm trending in the right direction. I wanted to share this struggle for two reasons: Everyone had bad days, rounds, or slumps... no matter how good you get. You need to address the issue face-on to solve it quickly and not settle.
