5 Foot F*Cker
So had my next match at the weekend,
And it was a belter
Not a halved hole in the first 6
I had a 5 foot-ish down hill putt on the
17th halve the match
And made it
On the 18th
I had a 5 foot ish up hill putt not to
lose the match
And made it
On the 19th I had a 5 foot with a tiny
bit of break
And missed it
And with that lost the match
It was the easiest of the 3
I thought standing over the ball that I
should hit it straight
Went against that feeling and it didn’t
break
I was livid with myself
I could blame everything else but the
fact is I didn’t trust my instincts and
It cost me the match
And was probably the weakest putt hit
all day,
So how do we use this
Most people would say
Just practice more 5 foot ish putts
But that wasn’t the issue
I wasn’t chipping it close enough
If the chips had been closer I would
have won the match,
So that’s where my extra focus will be
Know your numbers
And
Trust your instincts
They say your body and your bank account
never lie
They can’t
They are measured by what you earn/spend
Or
What you eat/burn
Everything can be made that simple
With your body I can show you here

PS just get a little bit better every
day
That’s how you can make consistent
progress
What are YOUR numbers
And why are YOU not tracking them
