I've used the last three rounds. One round I had 29 putts. My lowest putt total I can remember. Baddeley actually replied to an email from about his putting routine. Below is his reply. The most unique, and courageous thing is he aims the putter without looking at the hole, he only looks the ball when aiming. Jon - Hidden Valley Lake, CA Mate, well my putting routine is like this: 1. I read my putt, I never be too specific, I don’t read it being 1 ball outside the right lip, I think of it a little right to left! 2. Then I stand behind the ball I take 3 practice strokes looking up and down the line. 3. Then I walk in looking at the ball only, I set the putter behind the ball and take my stance, my eyes haven’t left the ball yet, I let my brain aim the putter face. 4. I then take one look at the hole and as soon as my eyes reach the ball I take my putter back and hit it. I have used this routine since I was like 16 so it works really well for me one look is more than enough. Just like a shortstop they take one look and throw to first base. I hope this helps Badds Baddeley’s putting routine is awesome for getting back to natural, instinctive golf.

Mate, well my putting routine is like this:

1. I read my putt, I never be too specific, I don’t read it being 1 ball outside the right lip, I think of it a little right to left!

2. Then I stand behind the ball I take 3 practice strokes looking up and down the line.

3. Then I walk in looking at the ball only, I set the putter behind the ball and take my stance, my eyes haven’t left the ball yet, I let my brain aim the putter face.

4. I then take one look at the hole and as soon as my eyes reach the ball I take my putter back and hit it.

I have used this routine since I was like 16 so it works really well for me one look is more than enough. Just like a shortstop they take one look and throw to first base.

I hope this helps
