Slick Greens – Smooth out the Stroke – Andrew Baines

It happens every summer, the superintendant double cuts and rolls the greens just before the club championship. All of a sudden, your putts are just racing by the hole. To help, place a nickel in the back cavity of your putter and make some putts. Did the nickel fall off? Most likely. We want to achieve a nice smooth tempo with the putting stroke. Now hit some putts, focusing on keeping the nickel in place. By keeping the nickel in place we have created a much smoother swing, that will help us achieve better distance control when the greens get slick.
