Learn to Putt, Wussy!
The folks at Discraft have released another instructional video, this time focusing on putting, specifically, putting with confidence. This one is less action packed that previous installments, largely it is just Mark Ellis explaining his thoughts and observations on what will make you a consistent putter. Though it has the feeling of a Tony Robbins infomercial, Ellis makes some valid points here, and it’s sure to help out your game, especially if you feel that putting is the weakest point in your game. This video is a little long winded, in my opinion, and judging by the faces of the audience in the video, we got the brief version. Still, I commend Discraft and Mark Ellis on continuing to put out videos in this series. Too often, the top pros of disc golf speak like, well, jocks, and you only hear a clumsy rewording of the obvious. I appreciate that Ellis knows how to address an audience and make valid points, and is ready to admit that he was not always the player he is today.

[…] 6. Last and certainly not least is putting. The bane of many disc golfer’s existence. If you don’t have a good short game, you will never be a great disc golfer. I always use the basketball analogy of the free throw shot because, in practice, basketball players spend hours just shooting free throws. I don’t think you could count the number of games that have been one with a free throw. They are vitally important. So the thought is, practice it until it is almost automatic. The same holds true with disc golf. Tim put up a great (albeit a bit boring) instructional video on putting, which was put together by Discraft.
