I was in Pinehurst in November getting a jump on winter golf and my putting was terrible. I was putting upwards of 38 putts a round with several three-putts. Now, I am a natural lefty that plays golf righty. I was so frustrated with my putting that I actually bought a left handed putter and tried it, but it just didn’t feel right. So, the frustration continued throughout the November rounds. When I got back home, I was looking for a solution…one that would keeps my wrists from breaking so I started researching. Simple solution that a lot of the pros use is to reverse grip, so I moved my left had to the bottom of the putter grip. Wow…what a difference in feel. I am now putting with a lefty feel and keeping my wrists solid. Can’t wait to see how it works on the first green in December!
I am a natural lefty that plays right too. Periodically have the realisation that as a natural lefty I would clearly be so much better if I played left handed…yeah that never goes well for me either!
By dropping that left hand down on the putter it really made me feel like I was taking control of the putt. I should have done it a long time ago! I always track my putts so I’ll see if it improves on the green.
