TRANSCRIPTS
-Hi. I'm Michael Breed, host of the Golf Fix. Our
question today comes to us from Jessie in Goldsboro, North
Carolina. I've always had a big problem with missing putts
to the right side of the hole by a ball
width. When I adjust the putter face a little to
the left from my normal alignment then I start missing
to the left. What can you suggest to get me
on the mend? Alright, Jessie. You know what? There's nothing
more aggravating than missing putts particularly when you then change
your alignment and then you start missing. So this is
gonna help you. What I've done here is I've taken
2 hangers and I've set them up so that there's
just a little channel going down the line and basically
what I've got is I've got that channel right in
between my golf ball and the hole. Now the first
thing that is critical to being successful in putting properly,
making putts and even full swing, but making putts is
alignment. So many times you align yourself improperly. Well what
this is gonna do is it's gonna allow you to
align yourself correctly. What you're gonna do is you set
that up so you got your little channel then you're
gonna put your golf ball so that it's right in
the middle of that channel going down the line there
to the hole. Now the first thing you're doing when
you get in here is you're gonna set up and
you're gonna look at this. This is gonna paint a
picture of what the alignment has looked like. So for
me I haven't done this drill in a while. This
feels like that I'm aligned a little to the left.
So that tells me that over time I've been aligning
up myself close to the target. So I'm gonna do
this drill and then all I'm gonna do is I'm
gonna hit this ball down that line and when it
goes through there it doesn't hit anything, that's gonna help
me with my stroke and my putter face. So remember,
2 coat hangers right here. Get that golf ball on
that line, helps you with alignment and helps you with
your stroke and that's gonna help you make more putts.
What's also gonna help you become a better player is
to stay right here on GolfChannel.com and search the entire
site. You're gonna find a number of instructors with great
tips to help you play better golf. And the other
thing that you can do is you can watch the
Golf Fix every Monday night, 7 and 10 pm Eastern.
I'm Michael Breed, the host, we're here to help you
play better golf.
