I read his book….. “putting out of your mind” and now after being a scratch golfer since I was 17 for 20 years now I always putt looking at the hole 🕳️ 👀. Every putt on my RUclips channel just playing practicing or in a match was looking at the hole. 😊
Bob is simply the best on golf psychology and the golfing mind. Have read many of his books…great!!! But they repeat the same principles… just shows how simple yet difficult it is 😊
Great vlog thanks. My putting tip: In my pre put routine, if i have say a 20 foot put, i go back to 40 ft and focus only on the cup. I stare at it. Then i hold that as I walk up to 20 ft to put. As im walking up, the hole is getting bigger. So whatever length of put, I use this method. Been doing it for years and im not a bad putter. Cheers. Brendon
For someone who has been struggling big time on the greens, this has been the perfect vlog for me. All ten tips, I need to work on! My big thing is fear, I have OCD and literally do everything wrong. Change grips, stroke, etc etc, no routine, the list goes on. Bottom line is, the golf course isn't my sanctuary and I love the game. Going to take all points on board and start again. I don't want to feel scared anymore, I know I can learn to trust my instincts, this has been a wonderful helping hand
I always struggled pulling putts left. The best tip for me was from Martin Hall on the Golf Channel, and it related to your left shoulder during the stroke. Martin's tip was: "Left shoulder up, in the cup. Left shoulder around, still on the ground." Moving your left shoulder up during the follow through kept my putts on line. This kept me from "turning" my shoulder to the left after impact and thus kept the putt on my intended target line. 👍⛳
I like this psychology trick from a Rotella book - if you miss a few putts early have the mindset that statistically you're more likely to hole putts over the rest of the round, and so you can feel more confident. And then, as a self-contradictory piece of psychological gymnastics, if you make a few putts early, frame that as you've got your eye in and are on form so you can be confident that you're more likely to hole upcoming putts for the rest of your round.
I LOVE this tip from Dr. Bob. He has something with the driving range - if you hit it good on the range, you'll hit it good on the course. If you hit it bad on the range, you're saving it for the course. Love it!
My routine is using the Plumb bob technique, it effectively gives me the confidence to commit to a read or line with confidence as it for me seems fairly accurate and then I can trust the ball that's lined up with absolute commitment just judging pace
It's the older PXG Operator - kinda looks like Batman designed it. Recently switched to the PXG One and Done as it's a little smaller and like the alignment more. PXG has some great putters and love the weighted ports for adjustability. Hope that helps - any q's let me know.
Haha right! No doubt one of my favorite episodes ever - love that he breaks Tom Brady's driver... "Is this custom? Mine's off the rack" is such a drama line!
The best putting advice I’ve gotten is to get addicted to the sound of the ball hitting the bottom of the cup. Finish every putt on the course so you reinforce that sound. Putting practice is only 2-6 foot putts. Ones I should make nearly 100%. Anything longer, I stick a tee in the ground and hit it close. That way I’m not ingraining the thought of being ok with a “miss”, even if it’s 30 feet. 👍🏻🏌🏻♂️
Yeah to clarify I don't think it's about try to jam every putt i the hole. It's about having the mindset that I'm going to try and make everything so that when you do miss it's better than trying to "lag it up" into a circle and end up with 3,4,5 footers all day
Never heard that quote before but I love it! Less is more when it comes to putting - less time over the ball, less thinking, & fewer looks at the hole. Look and shoot ✅✅

@@NoLookKING love it! I'm reading a book about the psychology of heads up putting. Clearly works for Jordan!
Be the ball!

Very glad this was helpful & hopefully you can start putting better soon. Find a good routine & stick with it for more consistency ⛳️✅

Love this putting tip! Check out Zen Putting if you need a new golf book, it's awesome
@@wickedsmartgolf Ordered the book today. Thanks!
@@jimsaddler942 love it!
Another thing to f pulling putts is tuck your right elbow in a bit more towards your belly. Check out with practice. See if that works for you.
Funny you mentioned that book. I started reading it last week!!! 👍😎@@wickedsmartgolf

If it works, keep it up!
I have been a look & shoot putter for 15 years !
No way! That's awesome - its incredible how much it works!
70 speed metronome look at target , look at ball, back stroke , forward stroke. Putting stroke avg/hole improved to 1.6
Interesting - where's this from? Love to learn more. Thanks for watching
@@wickedsmartgolf Mike Sullivan Golf he is my coach. We use a metronome at 70 or 72 beats for putting strokes
@@kevinfuller6750 nice that's awesome! Never can learn enough about this game
@@wickedsmartgolf Mike Sullivan had a video on this technique
I can send his video give me an address
I hope you come to Pinehurst. We can putt the Thistle Dhu green which is a real test.
Definitely a bucket list trip!
Stare at the hole while putting. It's like a jedi mind-trick. It just works.
Lotta people love heads up putting, works for Jordan!
I would agree 🎉
I'm just got certificate for mental coaching, any advice on starting out, based in uk
Start putting out content to attract an audience on social media & RUclips 👍 stay persistent & consistent to find the right students
I tell my playing partner every putt I leave short I will give you £1....I haven't left a putt short in 5 years, never hold so many 😁👍
Love it!
What putter are you using in the video? In the practice like you play segment

Brad Faxon- three practice strokes then get up to the ball without hesitation and stroke the ball. Takes guts but helped win a club championship
Brad is a putting guru for sure!
The Johnny Drama pic 😆
Haha right! No doubt one of my favorite episodes ever - love that he breaks Tom Brady's driver... "Is this custom? Mine's off the rack" is such a drama line!

Almost word for word a chapter in my book haha great stuff man! Keep it up & thanks for watching
@@wickedsmartgolf guess I’d better buy your book. 😉👍🏻🏌🏻♂️
@@robscott553 Appreciate the support, hope it helps you play better without swing changes!
I'll take my lag from 25 feet and leave a 2 foot putt, than get to the hole and have a 6 foot come backer every single time.

Think it was Ben Crenshaw that said “you should put like you sign your name: quickly and with little thought.”
Never heard that quote before but I love it! Less is more when it comes to putting - less time over the ball, less thinking, & fewer looks at the hole. Look and shoot ✅✅
Good stuff
Talks soooo fast
Ha - sorry I get excited talking about the best sport ever
No worries - anyway I wrote it all down …. Thanks
@@emptysea1137 awesome, hope it helps!
@emptysea1137 use the playback speed settings.
If it’s “needless to say” then why say it?
Lol stellar feedback. Hope you enjoyed the video
Inability to control your language is also a loser mentality.
Lighten up John.
Lol it'll be okay
