There are a few holes at Hartland Glen where you may find yourself calling a cab to get from one end of the green to the other.
When your ball is at one end and the flag is at the other, here are a few tips to think about:
Don't rush the backstroke and make a stabbing motion at the ball. Take a longer slower backstroke and follow thru the ball, letting your wrists break reacting to the weight of the club. As always, practice on the pre-round putting green to get the idea.
Remember - distance control is the focus on those long bombers. Getting within 3 feet of the hole is the real goal here.
Ok - a bonus short putt lesson: Do NOT peek at the putt! Instead - listen for the sound of the ball falling into the cup. Peeking usually makes the putter turn at impact causing you to push the ball to the low side of your target.
So, pick your line and speed and execute that. You will be rewarded with "the good sound"!
