Seeking a "slump-buster" for my putting game...
Over the last few weeks my game has come along nicely. Normally a mid to low 90's golfer, lately even rounds that don't seem to be going so well end up in the high 80's (thanks to some decent course & mental management).
What's the problem you ask? I can't get into any sort of putting groove and regardless of how much time I spend working on it, nothing is clicking.
That's where you come in. I'll take any advice (mental or technical) or any suggestions for a putter that may have helped you get that "feel" back.
Emails to BogeyMan@BogeyLounge.tv would be great, or share your knowledge with everyone by using the comment link below.
I thank you and I hope that my golfing (i.e. wagering) partners will not be thankful for your assistance.

Bogey Man,
We just put up some video instruction tips on our website. Look at www.digitalgolf.tv/instruction.
There are about 6 putting tips that could help you out.
As for the mental side...may I suggest prayer!

Be confident and take great care to remain very still. I'm reminded of a discussion between Jackie Burke (I believe) and someone else. Jackie begun by saying he liked to listen for the ball going into the cup. Someone asked him "What if you miss? Don't you want to see how the ball broke after it went past the hole?" Burke responded "Why would I want to see myself miss?"
Be confident and take a little more care over choosing your line, feeling the speed, and then making a good, solid stroke.

Hey buddy, can you enlighten us on what your current "issues" are? Are you pulling, leaving them short, misreading???

usually straight but short... lack of confidence in reading greens is killing my focus over the ball.
