I hit the ball pure on range and chip and putt well on practice green, but can’t perform up to my ability in tournaments. I have been told I have a very smooth and great tempo swing, but I suffer from deceleration and lack of free swings under pressure. I am a former City and State Junior champion. I am a better athlete than most playing in these events but can’t reach by potential and hence don’t enter due to fear of failure.

Is Your Putting Holding You Back?

Does your putting hold you back from playing your best in tournaments?

In this week's golf psychology session, mental game of golf expert and author of The Mental Game of Golf, Dr. Cohn, responds to a question from Connor who had this to say about his game:

I played in my State Am the other week and had the worst putting rounds of my life. I was not nervous at all and hit the ball really well. Typically, I'm a good putter but for some reason I was lost on the greens. I had a couple of 4 putts through 54 holes which hasn't happened to me ever. Usually in AM tournaments my putting is the one thing that causes me issues. Feel free to talk about it on the podcast!
