Avoid 3-putting with this simple strategy early in your round
**Avoid 3-Putting with This Simple Strategy Early in Your Round**
Are you tired of costly 3-putts derailing your early rounds? Follow this simple strategy to eliminate them from your game:
* **Focus on the first putt.** Roll it with confidence, aiming at the hole’s edges. Avoid over-trying or under-hitting the shot.
* **Plan your recovery putt.** Even if you miss the initial putt, visualize the perfect line for the subsequent shot.
* **Employ the “step-up” technique.** Move closer to the hole for the second putt, using less swing to prevent unnecessary distance. By reducing strokes early on, you build momentum and confidence for the rest of your round.
