“Regression Analysis” — Putting
Have you ever had the feeling that you’ve suddenly gotten worse at something you could do decently at one point? My putting has totally fallen apart. What used to be a somewhat smooth stroke has become a choppy, stop-start motion and I can’t seem to aim anymore. On the last hole of 9 this morning, I found a clue about what the problem is when I accidentally touched my ball on my practice swing. (Yikes.) It seems I’ve been setting up too close to the ball. This has been crowding my arms and not allowing for that pendulum-like motion I was trying for. I’ll have to get out on the course tomorrow to see if my initial assessment proves correct. And a putting lesson might help.
