 It's time for a new segment on the sports section of this show as local golf experts from around the area will help you improve your game. Today, Mike Klebaugh from Pocahama Golf Course shows how a new way to think about putting could help you out. Today we're going to talk about putting. There's more than one line to a putt. The more direct line is for the aggressive putter. Somebody who likes to die the ball to the hole is certainly going to allow more break. When you are putting, keep in mind distance and direction with distance control being the most important. So a great drill to help is to use some T's just beyond the hole. The yellow T representing somebody who is a little bit more aggressive so will play less break whereas the orange T will be for the putter who likes to die the ball to the hole. Align your putter to whichever T you think is more appropriate for the amount of speed you like to apply. Then hit the putt. Try to combine both distance and direction drills while you're putting. Don't hit those big long 60 foot putts just because your putting green is that big. Work on putts that actually will mean something during your round. And I got to say I kind of fall victim to that on the putting green. I'm hitting them from one side to the other one side to the other. So definitely a good way to think about your putting game makes a lot of sense. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
