The exercise---

Take your normal address position. Contract outside muscles of each lower leg in order to flare up outside of each foot slightly. Strive to maintain this “flared up” position with each foot as you hit a golf ball with a shortened half swing. As you move toward impact back foot ( R foot of right handed golfer ) will naturally move out of starting position as heel leaves ground to establish normal follow through position. Just beyond impact forward foot (L foot of right handed golfer ) will flatten but do not allow your weight to transfer to outside of foot. Your follow through is shortened to parallel to ground for this drill/exercise. Repeat with 10 to 20 swings or until your leg muscles fatigue to point of not being able to adequately hold your feet in proper flared positions.

Remember: During your swing keep proper spine angles, maintain a good solid position of back knee during your backswing, rotate your center of gravity within balance zone, and accelerate through impact just as you would in a normal swing.

Keep all these elements in tact, and you should see improved putting in no time. .

Standard rule of thumb. Five foot putt, bring (sweep) your putter back five inches, follow through five inches.

Why do most putts miss? Because stance and putter head are NOT square to target line (for such cool people playing this game, isn't word square used a lot?).

Put this in your muscle and visual memory bank:

Use a square tile floor. Place putter head along one of squares, and align your feet using square pattern of floor to be, well, square to target.

Now, take a little peek down target line. MEMORIZE that look. That is a square look, and that's cool!

Where Should Your Miss Land??

One of major differences between Tour pros and weekend player is that Tour pro focuses on where he wants his "misses" to land. For example, if green is sloped back-to-front, Tour pro will choose a club that will make sure that he leaves his approach below hole so that he has an easier, uphill putt for birdie.

You should do same thing. Instead of just walking off yardage and choosing appropriate club for yardage, take a second to study green to see how it's sloped. If it is sloped severely back-to-front, take one less club or choke down on club a bit.

Or, if it is sloped hard right-to-left, aim well left of hole (assuming hole isn't cut tight to left side of green near trouble). By leaving your approach shots on proper side of hole, you'll find yourself three-putting or four-putting a lot less.

What are three worst words in golf?

Wedge, Putter, Wedge (OK, if you don't get it, email me, and I'll explain..)
