PUTTING Narrow your focus

Confidence is all about winning over your mind. In putting, it stands to reason that if you practise putting to a small target you narrow your focus and sharpen your sense of aim. If you putt to a tee for a few minutes before you play, the hole will appear enormous when you reach for the putter on the first green. I often do this before a tournament. A small target helps you to hone your alignment and follow-through. Hit a few putts with your regular stroke, then try looking at the tee as you make the putt. Feel the way that your right hand finds the target and glides the putter through the ball
