GOLF PRO’S POINTER Sam Jepsen, PGA
Stand taller and make more putts! Golfers who bend over too much tend to get their arms folded too much and their putting strokes are inconsistent. Stand tall and let your arms hand down so that you can make a more pendulum-type motion in your stroke. You should be able to feel that your arms are swinging rather than being pushed and pulled back and forth. Bending over too much will also increase pressure on your back and limit the time you can spend practicing your putting. Tall putters are good putters.
