Putting is key to playing wicked smart golf. Follow these three tips:

1. Invest in a custom putter fitting. Make sure your flat stick is right for you (check lie angle and length specifically).
2. Invest in an indoor putting mat. PrimePutt is my favorite as it rolls wicked pure and feels like you're on the course.
3. Use training aids to start each session. Develop good fundamentals using the Pro Path Putting Mirror or the Putting Thing from WHYGOLF.
