You roll a ball along some nice green grass towards a hole. That's it. So why does it feel like defusing a bomb?
Three feet. Dead straight. Slightly uphill. The kind of putt a 12-year-old would make blindfolded with one arm tied behind their back.
And I completely stuffed it up.
My hands were sweaty. My chest tight. My brain a mess. I flinched. The ball limped forward like a wounded duck. Missed the hole by a mile.
My opponent could smell the fear. He didn't concede the next one either. I missed that too.
One minute I was winning the match. The next I was a headcase standing on a green, trying not to vomit.
That's when I knew - I had completely lost the plot with my putting.
And here's the most insane part:
I was the guy who coached Aaron Baddeley how to putt.
Yeah. That Aaron Baddeley. The one who topped the PGA Tour putting stats for multiple years. The one who rolled in bombs with that famous Look & Shoot routine. The one who beat Greg Norman and Colin Montgomerie down the stretch to win the Aussie Open as an 18-year-old amateur.
And yet there I was, missing 3-footers like a weekend warrior with a hangover.
Thousands of golfers have grabbed this method off the back of Badds' endorsement. He's partly to blame for the popularity of this work - and I say that with the utmost respect.
The golf industry has spent decades turning the simplest skill in the game into a NASA launch sequence.
Rock the shoulders. Match your backswing and follow-through. Low and slow. Pendulum stroke. Eyes over the ball. Quiet hands. Active hands. Lines on the ball. Forward press. Stand taller. Stand shorter.
Blah. Blah. Blah.
No wonder most golfers stand over a 3-footer like they're defusing a bomb. They wiggle their feet. Rehearse the stroke. Freeze. Think. Second guess. Then make some clunky, robotic, unnatural movement... and miss.
Meanwhile there are 8-year-olds out-putting you all day every day. They've never had a lesson. They don't know what a Scotty Cameron is. They just look at the hole and roll it.
That one realisation - and the simple method I rebuilt around it - is what this book is about.
No mechanics. No "rock the shoulders." No pendulum nonsense. No drills you'll forget by Thursday. Just the natural method that works, especially when it matters most.
You're wasting your energy on the wrong ones.
From 6 feet, PGA Tour pros - the best in the world, perfect greens, the best gear, thousands of hours of practice - hole about 65% of their putts.
From 8 feet it's basically a coin flip.
From 20 feet they're under 15%.
You? You're a weekend warrior on mediocre greens with a busy life. You're not making 20-footers. Hardly anyone does.
But you ARE grinding over them like you should. Pacing it off. Reading the break like a physics exam. Then beating yourself up when it slides by.
That putt was never going in.
Meanwhile the putts that actually decide your score - the 3, 4, 5 footers - are getting zero attention. And those are the ones bleeding shots out of your card every weekend.
The whole game on the greens comes down to two things:
Reduce 3-putts. Sink more of the shorter ones.
No fluff. No filler. Just the natural method, stripped to the bone.
The single move that holes more putts. Same routine Aaron Baddeley used to top the PGA Tour putting stats. Look at the hole. Roll the ball. That's it.
Why you're grinding over putts that were never going in - and where the real scoring lives. Two-putting is the forgotten art of smart golf.
You already have a great putting stroke. It's buried under tips, training aids, and theory. We uncover it - we don't build a new one.
Stroke path is overrated. Face angle at impact is king. The straight-edge drill that gives you instant feedback without a single swing thought.
Long putting is not a math problem. It's a throw. Look, feel, roll. Stop trying to drain them and watch more of them drop.
The pressure-proof routine. The one phrase that resets you when your brain wants to crack. "Roll. The. Bloody. Ball."
Years of yips don't unwind in a round - but they DO unwind. The pattern interrupters that rewire your putting brain.
Most putting practice is bullshit. The random, real, repeatable plan that builds confidence under pressure - not just on the practice green.
Everything you need to unf#ck it - in three formats.
If any of this sounds painfully familiar, yes.
You stand over a 4-footer with a tight grip and a louder brain.
You 3-putt more often than you'd ever admit out loud.
You've bought every putter under the sun and still don't trust any of them.
You've taken lessons, watched the YouTube videos, tried the drills - and you're no closer to feeling free over the ball.
You've started flinching. The yips have crept in. Or you can feel them coming.
Or maybe you putt OK on the practice green - and then it all falls apart the second there's a card in your pocket.
This is the way out.
Not by adding another tip to the pile. By removing what's already there.
If you love grinding over technique, debating shaft lean and arc paths on golf forums, and rebuilding your stroke every six months - leave this page now. This will frustrate you.
If you think the secret is one more drill, one more tip, one more $400 putter - same. Save your money.
If you want a shortcut where you keep doing what you've always done and putting magically gets better - you're in the wrong shop.
But if you're ready to simplify, trust your natural system, and just roll the bloody ball - this will change everything about how you stand over the short ones.
