Golfers have attempted everything of swinging with their golf clubs from expert instruction to hypnosis trying to make every putt on the green. Relax, even the pros can’t do that.

Then, the second major skill is to learn to visualize. Amateur golfers typically read their putts by examining only the immediate path from their golf balls to the hole. In fact, you should scan as broad a perspective as possible when assessing a putt. Try to develop a mental picture of the entire green–where the high side is located, the severity of the tilt, and a general idea of speed, break and ball path.

Once you have evaluated the entire green, narrow your focus to the area where you’ll be putting with your golf clubs. Visualize how you think the ball is going to track. Imagine its precise path directly into the hole. By starting with the big picture and then narrowing it to a more manageable size, you take control.

Finally, think distance, not speed! While the ultimate objective of getting your ball in the hole doesn’t change, a subtle shift in approach–emphasizing distance, not speed–can bring major improvement in your overall putting ability. Distance control comes primarily from the symmetry of your putting with your TaylorMade Tourismo Putter .

The ideal putting stroke moves as far backward as it does forward, with both parts of the stroke in equal temp. This even rhythm can be achieved through a combination of diligent practice and the real understanding that the putter, not you, is responsible for doing the work.

Keep your head down and still, visualize from broad to narrow before you putt and concentrate, you’ll making putts that you formerly missed.
