HOW THE LEGEND TOM WATSON PUTTS UNDER PRESSURE
how do you make a putt Under Pressure. everybody has had that putt that they've had to have under pressure. well the first thing I think about basically is a psychological thing and that is don't be afraid of failure. if you hit the Putt and you don't make it that's that's only one of two things that can happen. if you hit the putt like that and you don't make it you've given it your best try. number two you've practiced a lot You' you've created a routine you know what you're doing. the most important thing is don't forget your Rhythm. what happens when we miss putts under pressure is our Rhythm gets too fast. so make sure when you're in the position where you have to make a putt. make sure in your practice strokes you think about rhythm. then step into the ball and just repeat that Rhythm. the third thing you think about is. sometimes we are unsure of the line. we're not positive that we have a good feel for how the ball's going to break. now when that occurs you use a very simple method you commit to whatever line you think is the line and you stick with it. you don't want to be up over the putt thinking well is it more break is it less break you think I'm going to commit to this line and you go back to the first point don't be afraid of failure you take the commitment and you hit it right at the place where you think you're trying to hit it and as a final thought about pressure putting I refer back to my dad I think he was one of the best pressure Putters I ever saw in his mind when you're under pressure you have to make the putt you do two things first of all you hit the ball right in the middle of the Putter and second of all you keep your head still and you listen for the ball to go in the hole now you may have seen another famous golfer of of recent Fame do the same thing he also has the initials tww Tiger Woods you will notice when tiger makes his stroke he looks for at least a count of two before he looks up after he hits the ball and that's usually the result of a Tiger Woods putt
