Never up.....Never in

Its a simple fact that if the ball does not reach the hole it cant go in.Too many golfers are only concerned about getting the putt close,thus never giving it a chance.the result more often than not is the putt coming up short.
Also as the ball runs out of pace it will take any break that is there and that break is exaggerated as the ball slows up.Now say for example your putt has come up 4ft short.You are now left unsure what it is going to do especially after seeing it break as it slowed.
If your first putt however went 4ft by,at least it had a chance of dropping.You now also have seen the line of the putt as it passed the hole,so you know exactly what line is coming back.These are big positives.Because you know the line ,you will sink more of these crucial putts and this in turn will really boost your confidence and will result in holing more long putts and hugely reducing three putts.
