Turn Every Putt Into a Straight Putt
If you want to make more putts and shoot lower scores, here’s a simple concept from Tour players:
Treat every putt like it’s straight.
That doesn’t mean you ignore the break.
It means you build your setup around a square face first, then let the read dictate the start line.

🎯 The Tour Player Process
Watch good putters and you’ll notice something consistent:
1️⃣ They square the putter face first
2️⃣ Then they build their stance around that face
3️⃣ Then they commit to the start line
Whether the putt breaks left-to-right or right-to-left, the process stays the same.
They don’t manipulate their stroke to match the break.
They trust a square face and aim it correctly.
Why This Works
Most missed putts don’t come from bad strokes.
They come from poor face alignment at setup.
When your face is square and your setup is consistent:
✔️ Start line improves instantly
✔️ Speed control gets easier
✔️ Your stroke becomes more repeatable
✔️ Pressure putts feel simpler
You’re no longer reacting to the break — you’re starting from a neutral, controlled position every time.
🏁 Key Takeaway
Before you worry about your stroke, start with this question:
Is my putter face square first?
If you build everything around that answer, putting becomes much more predictable.
