Rickie Fowler Gives Tips on How to Putt Better | Golf Tips | Golf Digest

Does a lucky putt count as a good putt? In Kevin s world, maybe, but Butch Harmon and Rickie Fowler know from experience that good technique is key for scoring. Transcript [upbeat music] Oh, ho, wooh, come on, boy. Let s do this, come on. Oh, hey, guys. You check out the hole lately? There s a ball in it. You almost shattered the flag. Hey, man, a putt s a putt. Last time I checked, my ball was in the hole. Really? First of all, you need to take the pin out when you putt. That s a two-shot penalty for hitting the pin. Duly noted. Ricky, let s show him how to make one. [upbeat music] Yeah, maybe we should go help him out. Yeah, no kidding. [upbeat music] Guys, oh, guys. Guys. You know, Ricky, you have experience. One big putt. You re one of the best putters that I know, and this year, when you won at Honda on the back nine, you made some really good putts. I think a lot of it is, I want to react. I see it. I know what s going on around the putt, and at least down to the hole and back. And you get a feel for it. Ultimately, it doesn t matter how long the putt is, you re really focusing on your contact and then the speed for that putt. So all you can control is right here. Let s see your routine here. Your setup will be a lot more consistent if you put the putter down first. You kind of want your shoulders square, hands can hang here. Go ahead and get the grip. Pressure-wise, you want it in the middle. I try and fix my eyes on a specific spot behind the ball. Some people like to look at a dimple on the ball. I look at the grass right behind it. That allows you to not let your eyes wander, which makes the stroke a little bit more consistent. I like that. Come on in here. Yeah, get in here where you can see this. All right. Let s show em a little something. Can you get my ball while you re at it? There s probably a ball in there. We ll leave it in there for you. [upbeat music] Now that s how you do it. Yeah, that s how we do it. Me and Ricky, come on. Okay. We re like best friends now. I don t think he s paying any attention, but for those of you at home, if you paid attention, you re gonna putt a lot better. Let s get out of here. Yeah, see ya. What d I miss? You re good.
