Relax....Carefree Putting

Most of us have experienced days where the hole is big as a bucket.The putts drop from all over.Its a great feeling.Confidence is high, there are no nerves or fear standing over a putt.On these days you do not notice any bit of bad surface on the green or your not thinking "this looks like its lightening down to the hole".Its all positive.
This is all down to tension.in this case,lack of.When your mussels are relaxed you will make a free fluid stroke,this in turn will greatly improve the accuracy and pace of the putt.
Ive seen it and done it before,at the start of a round, you miss an easy putt.You come to the next green and you try extra hard which can lead you to tense up.When this happens its impossible to make a smooth putting stroke.
Have you ever noticed when out playing, after a half a dozen holes your out of the competition,.you have thrown your hat at it so you play away for the practice.Now you don't care too much,there is no pressure and you happen to "find" your game again.It tells it own story.If you can try to relax a bit more on the course you will swing more freely,and your scores will reflect this.
