No more three-putts.
How good are you from a distance?
 
Knowing you can comfortably handle long putts takes the pressure off needing to land your ball close to the flag on approach. When you’re able to consistently two-putt from distance, your golf experience is transformed.
 
 
Try this fun benchmark game
Find ten different 25-foot putt locations on a practice green to the same hole. See how many of your ten putts you get within 2 feet. We think most golfers will be in the 3 to 5 foot range. But we can get you closer, so you can two-putt with ease.
 
Lie angle
When your lie angle is out, consistent ball striking becomes very difficult.
 
Arc
Straight back, slight arc or strong arc? We need to ensure the putter you’re playing with works with you.
 
Tempo
A consistent swing tempo takes the guesswork out of putting.
 
Eliminate three-putts
Better putting means more holes completed with the satisfaction of a solid two-putt or even a birdie. Let’s schedule a session on the putting green and work on getting you closer from distance. In the meantime, we can give you some drills to do at home.

Is “Putt for dough” relevant?
 
“You drive for show, but putt for dough” was a saying that used to have some relevance to tour professionals and the highly competitive. It’s a lot less relevant to them now (as proven by the big-hitters at the top of the money list) but was it ever relevant to the regular golfer?
 
 
 
 
Sure, there’s an elation when a longer putt drops or even a shorter putt that allows you to mark down a birdie on your card. But, out of 18 holes, how many are ruined or made much more difficult by your tee shot? How many times did you leave yourself woefully short with a mishit, or find the red zone of “lost, out-of-bounds, or an impossible shot”?
 
 
Building consistency off the tee, while finding ways to go further, will open the pathway to better scores AND more holes you enjoy.
 
Change the game
When did you upgrade your game from the tee? If you’re competitive, then significantly reducing the distance to the hole on your 2nd, changes the game. If you want to explore ‘further’
