Which one are you?
Eighty-five percent of the information people take in is visual. That is,what we see is most of what we know. Consider the last movie you saw. Bet you remember more of what you saw than the dialogue you heard. The same goes for golf. What you see on the golf course is often what you get. (If you’ve ever fixated on a water hazard only to hit your ball in it, you know what I mean.)
The only thing that the “mechanical putter” sees when he putts is his stroke: whether it arcs or moves straight back and through, and if it accelerates or decelerates. Because he’s a purely technical putter, he’s unaware of his target and loses all sense of distance, direction and speed. For these reasons, he’s the least successful putter of the group.
WHAT HE SEES Because our images are so important, it’s vital that we have positive ones. Over the next eight pages, I’ll show you how to apply “visualization” techniques to your putting. Iidentify the five different ways people putt and tell you what they see and how they practice (even if one method shouldn’t be emulated). Sure you’ll recognize your putting method in these photos, and if you’re not satisfied with your current routine, to work your way up to the most successful type of putter. What type of putter is that, you ask?
