Inside 10 ft? Stop trying to hole it. Here’s why 👇
Chasing 16 ⛳ Ep 5: pace and feel
When we charge a 6–10 footer trying to sink it, it races 4 ft past… and then we miss the one back. Hello, 3-putt 😩
The numbers: a 25 handicap 3-putts about once every 7.6 holes, more than twice a round. A scratch golfer 3-putts about once every 39 holes. (Stats: Shot Scope)
That’s 2+ shots a round thrown away on the green, without hitting a single bad shot.
My new rule from 6–10 ft:
🎯 Holed or tap-in. Both are a win.
🐢 Pace over power. Roll it so it drops, or stops just past the hole.
🚫 Never 3 putts. Two putts = job done.
The drill: balls at 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 ft. Every putt has to go in or finish inside a putter grip’s length of the hole. Miss that zone, start again.
📌 Save this for your next putting session
💌 Send it to the friend who always charges it 4 ft past
💬 Be honest: how many 3-putts did you have last round? 👇
Follow along. I’m chasing handicap 20.4 → 16, one 3-putt less at a time.
