Scariest shots in golf
Green gremlins


When you think of golf’s scariest shots, what usually comes to mind is the drive on a tight fairway, the approach over a water hazard, the deep greenside bunker and the fairway wood off the deck. But there aren’t any gremlins lying in wait on the green, right?... Well, what about a lightning-fast, downhill, sharp-breaking 4-footer to save par?

Effective downhill putting has a lot to do with feel and pacing. You want to keep aspects like impact point and stroke consistent, while altering the speed you impart to the ball. Putts like this are a challenge for golfers across the skills spectrum, but the more you practice, the better your feel and pace will get.

You might have great feel and accurate speed- and line-reading skills, but if your stroke is inconsistent, or your putter setup is wrong, you’re not going to hole as many putts as you should. Let’s spend some time on the practice green to make sure you’re set up for success.
