It’s the most frustrating occurrence for golfers of every ability – three-putting. They happen either because you hit a poor approach putt from distance ... or struggle to hole out from close range. The first thing to understand is that one of these putts, the first one, is more feel-based – your instincts will largely take care of lag putts if you give them a chance. Whereas short putts are more mechanical and based on technique. But every putt is a combination of hitting the ball at the right pace on the intended line to your relevant target, which may not necessarily be the hole. You will reduce the number of times you three-putt every round by improving your touch from long range and your stroke on short putts. You can do this by practising the drills showcased in this feature by Adrian Fryer.
