That sounds great! I may have to check it out. On a side note, are there any other local coaches you would recommend? I like to compare options.
I’ve had good experiences with a coach named Sara at another facility. She has a more relaxed approach and really emphasizes the importance of having fun while learning.

Sounds like a nice balance! I think making putting fun is crucial, especially for beginners.
If I were any better at putting, I’d have to start charging for lessons myself! But really, it’s all about finding the coach that matches your style.
Haha! I appreciate the humor! But you’re right; the right fit really makes a difference in improvement.
I’ve had great success with a coach who focuses on the pendulum technique for putting. It really helps with consistency. I recommend looking for someone who emphasizes this drill!
That’s interesting! I’ve been hearing about the importance of grip pressure too. Did your coach touch on that as well?

Definitely consider a coach who can personalize the drills. My coach had me practice the ‘clock’ drill, where you aim at different spots around the hole. It really helped my precision!
I’ve heard about that one! How many reps did you do per session? I’m curious about the time commitment.
I only did about 10 reps per spot. But the key was to maintain focus on alignment. A supportive environment really improved my putting during practice.
I can relate! My coach introduced me to visualization techniques before taking a putt. Imagining the ball going in was surprisingly effective!
That sounds like a game changer! How do you stay disciplined with visualization during a round?

I just try to stick to a routine! Even during a busy round, taking a deep breath helps keep me in the right mindset.
Routine? Sounds simple, but it’s so important! Have any of you tried practicing with metronomes? It’s fun to mix up training!
That’s interesting! I never thought of using one for putting. Does it really help with timing?
Oh for sure! Timing is key in putting. It’s helped me focus more on my stroke and less on the outcome, which is a great mental shift.
