It's like throwing a ball to a target - generally you don't need to try too hard, you just do it. If you're flinching and stuffing up the distance by a large factor then you're getting in the way and trying way too hard. Relax a little and let the stroke flow naturally - you'll do just fine. @Brian: You’ve got to stick to the process with the longer putts.

I'm fine on short and medium range putts, I'm actually a pretty good putter from this range. It's the long ones that give me problems. And I don't know why, but I'm fine on a left-to-right breaker. But a straight uphill putt from 30+ feet is a nightmare. Also a right-to-left breaker. I have this fear that the putter face is going to twist when I hit the ball, and it sort of becomes self-fulfilling when I flinch at impact and make poor contact. Sometimes I'll leave it 10 feet short or be off-line by 6 feet. Any suggestions? Thanks Cameron,

I can usually chip well in practice but even then I have some sessions where I fluff or blade a large percentage. I've followed all your advice but the chipping yips persist. I'd love to find a cure . My chipping is disastrous, costing several shots a round. I can usually chip well in practice but even then I have some sessions where I fluff or blade a large percentage.

You can get a copy at www.perfect-putting.com I know how embarrassing poor putting can be. Missing tiny putts and three and four putting when you hit the ball so well isn't much fun. Let me know if I can help you further. Cameron Hi Terry,
