Reduce Tension Before a Putt with this Quick Exercise (October 2006)
By Ed Grant, Author of Subconscious Golf
Have you ever bent down to hit a clutch putt and saw the putter just shaking on the ground to the point you could hardly put it down behind the ball? We all have. The next time you're in a position where you're going to have to hit a clutch putt take your fist and while you're waiting for your turn to putt take your hands and clench them in a tight fist, as tight as you can for about 30 seconds. Then when it's your turn to putt you're going to find those muscles relaxed, because they've just been tense and you'll find it much easier to keep the putter quiet.
