Tip of the week:
Lag putting
Many players have difficulty judging the speed on medium to long putts. Speed and distance control are keys to good lag putting. Before your stroke, pick a target. Then, while behind the ball and looking at the target, do a few practice strokes. This will allow the mind's eye to feel the required effort. Repeat that feel during the actual stroke, and your ball should end up close to the hole.
