A SKLZ Spring tune up is always in order. Swing training, grip training and a smash bag impact training work out will help to take some of the Winter rust off.
Putts per round vs Strokes Gained
Putts per round is not a pure measure of putting skill because it doesn’t take into account putt distances.
Fitting: The proper length clubs
In the fitting world, WTF means “Wrist To Floor.” It refers to measuring the distance from your wrist joint to the floor to determine proper club length.
Self Video: Full Swing and Putts
Taking self video for full swing shots or putts is not hard to do. Basically, anyone with a smartphone can do it. Video is best shot at 720p resolution and up. Slow motion video is best shot at 120 fps and up.

The Wright Putting Dynamics Laser Optics V3 is a high-powered green laser that projects a solid line and can be used for start line, stroke accuracy, and visualization training.
Pace of Play
No matter what shot you may be playing there are rules regarding “pace of play” in golf. The old saying “Playing TV Golf” actually has new meaning. It’s 40 seconds per shot.
Putting with loft
Paul Runyan was the winner of two PGA championships and had 29 wins on tour. He was a genius at putting and the short game. He is well known for what is referred as “The Rule of 12.” In other words, putting with loft.
Mapping your course or greens

Practice with purpose
Improving your golf game requires more than just hitting golf balls. It requires practice with purpose.

Spider Putt App
The Spider Putt App is an interesting app I’ve found for tracking putts during a practice session. Measuring your statistics is the only way to know what you are doing right or what you are doing wrong.
Ball position and accuracy
How does inconsistent ball position in putting affect your accuracy? Placing the ball too far back in your stance will make you aim to the right. Having the ball too far forward will make you aim the ball to the left.
What should you practice the most?
Your short game. A typical 96 shooter spends 62.5% of their shots on his or her short game. Forty of those shots are putts.
Tempo and Rhythm
Some people confuse Tempo with Rhythm in golf. They are two different things. Simply put, tempo equals time and rhythm equals ratio.
