Okay I’m going to show you how to start off your warm-up routines by using a putter we’re going to start to putt now I’ve stuck an umbrella in the ground about uh well not about it’s exactly 33 yards and a third away from this point

Now an old M that’s 100 ft so when I have my Putter and you can try set the driving range even if the grass is relatively short see if you have enough power to hit the ball 33 and 1/3 yards okay now even though the grass is

Cut fairly long on this apron the ball got there and it rolled 100% of its distance sure it was bobbling a little bit because it’s uneven ground but the point is the ball never took off so I’ve got a putting mechanism here’s a y shape and in its

Strongest form it’s amazing how far you can make the ball go I aim the to face I build the grip and take my STS you’ll recognize that from all the other tips about grip and posture now I look at the umbrella and I’m only thinking about one thing send the ball the correct

Distance okay and I even got the brake right there and the ball moved from right to left I got a bit of help from the ground it’s a great way of warming up your shoulder turn and your hand action so although your hands are behaving very simp simply gentle medium and hard

That’s hand action so when I’m using my hand quickly now I’m driving the ball forward to make it run I know that I’m capable of hitting that 50 or 60 yards if I really need to not that I would often need to do that uh if you’re playing in Scotland or

Double greens you might find yourself with a 70 or 80 yard putt it can happen but with a putter it’s surprising how far you can make it work and you get getting your direction right from the start the other thing this does it gets you to understand that the short game is

Not gentle it’s the opposite it’s committed it’s Brave it’s courageous it’s creative you don’t back off on the short shots you go the other way so I’m only going 100 ft but you can see from the activity in the pad in my hands that really the strike is rather hard and

This golf club is very good at keeping the ball low and sending it in straight lines that allows you then to go on to the next stage you go to your six iron pull the six on up your sleeve make it into a Putter and then find

Out what this club does over 100 ft so it’s basically the putting mechanism with the six iron to the umbrella you can see that the ball took off before it ran as it happened I didn’t hit the ball quite hard enough to get to the Target and I hate that I

Don’t mind a bad shot I hate a weak bad shot so get every putt to the hole and get every chip to the hole there you go so much more chance of getting close to the flag if I get the pace so hopefully I’ve showed you

Putting and chipping is not a gentle art it’s a creative art but start off small learn to roll the ball for 100 ft and then see what other clubs in the bag can do
