Inbee Park won the LPGA US Open, her third straight major this year. She isn’t tall or strong. Her drives are not long or the most accurate but she leads in Putts Per Greens Hit in Regulation. Strange, Tiger and Matt Kucher were also winning when their putting stats improved too.
Her confidence under pressure and choosing the right line are so important but writers for GLOBAL GOLF POST saw more: “She keeps her putting mechanics simple: low left hand, head still, her hands ahead of the ball through impact. Every putt is struck with the same rhythm, so effortless that she reminds you of the swaying arm of a grandfather clock.” TICK – TOCK
Putt with a locked wrist for a square impact and straight follow through.
Most golfers putt with a conventional grip placing the left hand high. Inbee’s success is with hitting directly on the intended line and a square putter face at impact. Light bulbs flashing on!!! Grip the club any way that works for you. It’s only the square impact down the intended line that counts.
While practice putting with a locked wrist using GOLFSTR+, I discovered that I no longer “slice” my putts. Taking any wrist motion out of the putt and finishing along the intended line is so critical. [By the way, I won a match yesterday on the 18th hole with a critical right to left downhill putt. It was a pressure putt and I know that my practice with GOLFSTR+ paid off.]
BEWARE: Golf Liability (found in The New York Times)
Don’t be an to hit when golfers are in-front of you especially when you are impatiently waiting for golfers to clear the green and surrounding area on a Par 3 Hole. If you hit somebody and injure them — you are going to be found liable by a court.

“The golfer is responsible for making sure that other golfers are out of the way before they hit,” said Robert Lang, a New York-based lawyer who has handled dozens of golf-related cases. “Yes, it’s true they aren’t responsible for hitting someone one or two holes away because they slice a ball, but if you’re on the tee and someone is near the green of the hole you are aiming at and you hit that person, you’re liable.”
In other words, multiple courts have ruled that golfers aren’t accountable for errant shots, but hitting someone in your intended line of fire is not an accident.
