Lesson 10 of 17 · Short-Putt Cheat

Give the brain a destination.

The one thing you're installing today

An external finish cue that removes the urge to jab, guide, or protect.

“Putter head up — into the cup.”
One thought. Nothing else.

Why this works

Your brain performs best when it’s aiming at something — not controlling something.

Internal thoughts create tension. External targets create flow.

Give the brain a destination, not instructions.

What it eliminates

The jab

The peek

The decel

All three disappear when the stroke has somewhere to go.

The rule

Hold your finish and listen until the ball hits the cup.

If you didn’t hear it, you quit early.

Short-Putt Lock

  1. 3–5 feet only
  2. Same tempo
  3. Finish toward cup
  4. Listen for sound

The shift

You stop trying to make putts…

You start finishing strokes.

“Finish to the cup.”
