putting lesson

went to address the 4 putts i had yesterday
good news-first par of season, first sandie, good driving day, good iron day

learned that right hand keeps taking over, leading to inconsistency with tendency to miss sweet spot and pull putts left.
work on right hand grip, particularly keeping thumb on top and index finger underneath, and grip relaxed
extend right arm on follow through
let gravity swing the club
set up 2x4 to practice follow through

remember-practice putts at 3 speeds and read different lines as appropriate.
on long putts, focus on distance, not on the line.
keep putter square through impact and on follow through.
continue working on same preshot routine.


pitching-
turn body back
short backswing
right wrist bent (greg norman's secret)
turn body through, arms passive, will compress ball
extend arms on follow through
