Putting woes

  Hello everyone. Have been on here for a few years and my putting is still....BAD. I watched a youtube video of Bolluxinbruges putting and he sometimes uses the pitching grid to help line-up putts. Had never seen this done and I was curious if anyone can help me figure this out or try something else. I appreciate any feedback. Scott.

  He's looking at the grid to either ensure it matches the putting grid, and if not (I assume) he's taking the pitch/chip grid as the correct one.

  Give it a whirl.

  Play a round and look at the pitch grid, compare to putting and make a mental note when the two are showing different breaks, then putt and see which grid it follows.

  I also use the pitch and chip grids on those funny breaks where both sides of the hole ball runs into the hole, or away....in those cases I play the pitch/chip grid....and hope;)

  What helped improve my putting, was to land around 10 ft from the pin, if you miss the putt, try and putt back to where you landed, eventually you'll get a good idea of how the break works and how much you need to compensate. I used to do a whole round like that, using up all 9 or so putts, then start landing 20 ft from the pin, you soon build up a good idea of how much power and compensation you need for a putt.

  ( I wouldn't use kiawah to practice on tho )
