Late-season golf in Michigan eliminates competitive scoring pressure and features uncrowded practice facilities, creating optimal conditions to rebuild swing habits.
Adjusting your putting setup by moving the ball one ball-width forward of center counters slow, aerated, or wet autumn turf, creating an upward strike that stops putts from skidding or bouncing off line.
Late last October, an 11-handicap golfer named Mark consulted Bob Bales at Crestview Golf Club in frustration. Despite finding fairways all afternoon, Mark felt like he was “putting on cobblestones.” Every 15-foot putt either hopped off-line instantly or stalled out several feet short, which he blamed on aeration holes and cold hands.
Within three strokes, Bales spotted the mechanical flaw: Mark had the ball positioned dead-center between his feet, driving the putter head downward at impact and popping the ball into the air.
Bales shifted Mark’s ball position one ball-width forward, directly below his lead eye. The benefits were immediate. Read more here.
