Welcome to Golf Smarter Mulligans.

Your second chance to gain insight and advice from the best instructors featured on the Golf Smarter podcast.

Great golf instruction never gets old. Our interview library features hundreds of hours of game

improvement conversations like this that are no longer available in any podcast app. I can give a tip to your listeners.

It's real simple. If you lay down the two alignment rods and choose a straight putt of 10 feet, so it can be straight uphill is better than straight downhill, straight uphill of 10 feet. Put your two alignment rods so that if a ball was running right down the middle between them, it would go right into the hole. So these two alignment rods will be maybe five inches apart because that's a little bit wider than your putter face. Six inches apart's even better. So place the ball

down and place a T outside the alignment rod so you know where that ball place is. Then put a T

at both of your toes. Now you know exactly how far a width apart your feet are. You know exactly where the ball is. Start hitting some putts. If you see you're pulling them, take that T, not the ones on your toes, the T that's on the outside of the line, and move it back, let's say an inch, and see what it does there. Move it back another inch. At some point in time, you will find out the right distance. You can play with it and move it forward if you want to, and you'll end up pulling them.

But whatever problem you're having, pulling or pushing,

simply move that T in one direction or the other, and that's where the starting point where your ball is.
