In this episode of Next on the Tee, I’m joined by two of the game’s top instructors to help you lower your scores where it matters most—on the greens. Since nearly 40–50% of our strokes are with the putter, eliminating three-putts can make an immediate difference in your game.

First up is top instructor Tom Patri, who shares insights from a putting clinic he hosted at Twin Eagles in Naples, Florida. Tom breaks down the fundamentals of the putting stroke, including whether it should be straight back and straight through or naturally arcing, how to aim the putter face more accurately, and whether the “ball under your lead eye” setup rule is fact or myth.

In segment two, I’m joined by Taylor Crosby, Lead Instructor at The Kingdom at Lake Oconee, who discusses how golfers can achieve more center-face contact, what he commonly sees during putter fittings, and the differences between mallet and blade putters. Taylor also reveals one of the most overlooked fundamentals that we don’t practice enough.

If you want to make more putts, eliminate three-putts, and gain confidence on the greens, this episode is packed with practical golf tips, putting instruction, and insights from two of the game’s best teachers.
