Breaking Your Golf Score

Breaking 80
with Jonathan Yarwood

ALL THE HOLE IS A GOAL

Remember that the ball will drop into the cup from the sides as well as from the front. If you're putting uphill, hit it firm so the ball will still drop in from the side. On a left-to-right putt, don't be scared to allow for more break as the putt will see more of the side of the hole than it will the front, and vice-versa for a right-to-left breaker.


REAL TIME READING

Burn your eyes along the green like Superman, reading the line in "real time". Before you execute, carefully track your intended line at the same speed your ball will travel. Pick out small targets along the way to help create a roadmap to the hole.

BALL BREAKER

Firming up your wrists and putting from your shoulders is a great way to add consistency to your stroke. Try practising by placing a ball between your wrists - you'll find it almost impossible to break your wrists.
