Tip of the Week- Don’t rush the short ones

Last week I watched in amazement at Rory McIlroy stepping up to awkwardly tap in a putt after missing his first putt and continue to avoid the hole resulting in a careless bogey.

You could just see the frustration in his face as he asked himself “why the hell didn’t I just wait?”

Its not worth the rush. If you have a tap in where you are manipulating your body into a position so as to not stand on someones line MARK IT. If you miss it you can then carry on the frustration through the next few holes resulting in even more dropped shots.

Be patient. There is no point risking a missed simple putt by rushing.
