Speed control isn’t random

Jan 26, 2026

A lot of golfers believe speed control is feel-based.
That’s why it feels inconsistent.

This came up with a player who said, “Some days I just have touch, some days I don’t.” Once we looked at rhythm and routine instead of feel, their long putts started finishing in the same window over and over.

Here’s the shift I want you to make:

  • Stop relying on feel alone

  • Start paying attention to rhythm and tempo

  • Let distance control become repeatable

Try this:
Roll 3 putts to the same hole focusing on identical tempo, not outcome. Notice how close they finish to each other.

If you want help building predictable speed control, I train this inside my digital course, a Great Putters Blueprint. Or hit reply and tell me which putts give you the most trouble.

Play More Golf. But Better.

Here’s the shift I want you to make: Stop collecting drills Start repeating one d...
Why touch shots feel so hard
Most golfers struggle around the greens because they’re trying to help the ball.That usually makes touch shots harder, not easier. I saw this with a player who was terrified of blading chips. Every motion slowed down, hands got involved, and contact suffered. Once we simplified the motion and trusted the club, the strike cleaned up immediately. Here’s the shift I want you to make: Stop try...
Good swings still need good decisions
A lot of golfers focus only on making better swings.But scoring also comes down to better decisions. I’ve seen players hit the ball solid all day and still struggle because they were aiming at pins they had no business going after. Once we adjusted targets, scores dropped without changing the swing. Here’s the shift I want you to make: Stop aiming at the perfect shot Start choosing targets ...
