Hi, I'm Cheryl Anderson, and I'm the Director of Instruction at the Mike Bender Golf Acadamy
here in Lake Mary, Florida. So a lot of people spend a lot of time figuring out where to
aim their putts for these short putts, but I also want you to think about what speed
you want the ball to roll in. So, there's three speeds in putting. You've got speed
one; where the ball could just die right in the front edge of the cup. You've got speed
two, where you're going to focus on hitting the ball right on the bottom part of the cup,
like so. And then speed three would be when you hit the top part of the cup, like that.
So when you have a downhill putt on a very fast green, go with speed one; just die it
and focus on a spot right in front of the cup. If you're on a level surface, focus on
speed two, where you're looking at the bottom of the cup. And let's say you have an uphill
putt; focus on the back of the cup, and knock it in. I hope that helps your short putts.
