G'day Andrew, I agree, I am not going to make many 20 foot plus putts. Suggestion, on the practice putting green, take a distance of around 12 feet and learn the pace of the greens from that distance. Then try getting the ball within a 5-foot radius from further away.

Thank you Andrew!
I was somewhat surprised with the PGA stat you mentioned. Practicing the 5 footers make a lot of sense. Really enjoy your insight on golf pass!

with this tip in mind, I believe that the goal of the first putt should be a 5-foot circle around the pin and that is much easier to set up for in my experience.

Well can I dude with chunk on the ball on the fairway

What can I do different in the fairway so I don’t chunk the ball

I am a member, and for Xmas I received a "Putting Perfecter" gadget, from Golfpass.
How can I incorporate it on my 5 feet putt practice?

Great tip, Pro! My guess was 1 putt, so I was close! Lol! I'm going to start practicing more 5 footers, for sure. Jim G.

Well done Andrew for showing us the miss and not refilming. I love your honest teaching. FYI PGA stats for 5 footers is 76% one putt and 24% two putts. It is my carpet practice distance.

Andrew, this is really great guidance. I often work on longer lag putts but don’t spend as much time as I should on the 5-6 ft putts. Will reorient my focus on this. Thanks.

Why do the men`s professional players have to wear long pants at all formal events ? The women on the other hand can wear numerous types of garments ( skirts, scorts , shorts , pants ( varying lengths ) . I believe the men should be able to wear shorts in a respectable lengths.
