TRANSCRIPTS
-At last year's AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, D.A. Points
didn't missed a single putt inside of nine-feet on the
last two rounds. He was 31 of 31. How do
you get that accurate on those putts? Well, first, you
got to practise them. Many of you are going out
to the-- to the practice putting green and you're not
practising those 6-foot, 7-foot, 8-foot and 9-foot putts. You got
to practise them. Second, most of all, you've got to
make sure that you're focused on your target. Don't get
consumed by the hole. So, if I want to hit
a putt, if I read this thing and I see
it's outside the right or maybe a right edge putt,
I'm going to focus on that right edge and you
got to make sure that you trust that putting stroke
so that that ball goes exactly where you want it
to go. Pick that small target. Focus on that. Trust
that putting stroke. Martin, we're not missing from 9-feet but
get me to 9-feet. -Thanks, Michael. Pebble Beach was the
toughest course on the PGA Tour last season to make
putts over at 10-feet. So, I'm going to show you
how to get it up close and hope we [unk]
in. But-- but, why is Pebble Beach so difficult? Well,
[unk] late in the afternoon, early in the a little
bit mumpy makes it essential when you get the distance
controlled just right. I got a tip from British Open
champion Bob Charles many years ago. He noticed that the
typical player just practise three or four footers. He didn't
do that at all. When Bob Charles got to the
putting green, he would find a 34 putt. While here,
I can't go back 30-feet. Otherwise, I'd be outside of
the building. So, I'd go about 50-foot here. And Bob
would-- Sir Bob Charles would practise hitting balls from about
30-feet and he would get a feel for what a
30-foot putt was. Now, when he got to the green,
he would very quickly phase it off and see if
it was at more than 30-feet or was it less
than 30-feet. And, it gives him a sense of whether
he needed to give it a bit more than he
trained or a bit less than he trained. That would
really help a lot of you if you did that.
So, get yourself a distance about 30-footer. Practise that. And
then, add also [unk] to that when you're on the
golf course. I think that will help a lot. Thanks
for joining us on GolfChannel.com for the best in golf
instruction. Michael's tip and mind are sure to help you
and the pros at Pebble Beach make more putts no
matter what the distance.
