As we all know, there are several areas in the game of golf that directly correlates to low scores. The two I try to focus on and greens in regulation and putting. The one area I believe people don’t pay as much attention to is fairway accuracy, which brings me to the point of this blog.
When we are on the tee all we see for the most part is a wide open green, beautiful fairway, typically wide enough for a mistake to happen and we can still recover from. But when we are standing on the green, lining up putts, why do we spend the most time reading them? Because it’s a scoring opportunity?
I guess what I’m trying to get at is, why don’t we be aggressive and really attack putts the same way do the fairway? When we try to be too cute with a putt, we usually miss.
