17 Mar Putting is the most important part of the game

Posted at 09:19h in Golf Tip by

Matt Killen is a putting coach who found himself in the midst of a unique media storm this week as he was seen working earlier in the week with Tiger Woods.

Apparently, Woods has been struggling with his putting recently and wanted Killen to have a look at it on Monday at the Players Championship. Killen also walked around with Woods during his practice round. Woods said he wanted to get feedback from Killen on his stroke. Like all good golf coaches Killen is good at saying things in different ways and can make it all sound very simple — or can get as technical as you want. My generation of players must really think hard of ever seeing a player receive a putting lesson — or any lesson come to that. You simply had to work it out yourself, and those who could, usually ended up at the top of the leaderboard at the end of the week.

As we all know putting is a game within a game and as, on average, we use up 36 strokes each round on putting it’s the most important part of the game. There are days of having simply a great putting feel and there are days when we struggle in finding that magic touch again. The continued search for consistency is what all of us are striving for and if there’s a coach who can help with this, they will be undoubtedly busy.

Out of Bounds: To be aware of a shortcoming within yourself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in somebody else. Rather than speaking badly about people and in ways that will produce only friction and unrest, we should practice a purer perception of them, and when you speak of others, speak of their good qualities rather than their terrible golf swings.
