9. Get Your Long Putts Closer

The farther you get away from the hole the harder and harder it is to get the ball to go into the hole. Outside of 10 feet very few putts are going to drop. So instead of trying to make these longer putts, try this formula:

Dart Board Concept: The Long Putt Formula.

dart boardLet's say you are 20 feet away for a dart board and throwing darts. Now move back 10 more feet. At 30 feet it is pretty tough to hit the dart board. But if the dart board were doubled in size it would be fun again.

So now let's say you are 20 feet away from the hole. Picture an imaginary circle or dart board around the hole the size of a hula hoop. This is your goal - To putt the ball inside this imaginary dart board.

Now as you move back, to make this fun, enlarge the imaginary dart board or circle appropriately and you will find yourself enjoying the long putts.
