In the past, on a 50-75 ft putt(which is way beyond my range), I have always sort of lofted the throw up with the expectation of missing but having a very close follow up shot. Today I said "F***-it" and just powered through the putt as if I was 5-10 ft away (to keep the shot flat). To my suprise, I actually hit 4 out of the 6 putts I had from about 50-75 feet(maybe more maybe less). Of course on the misses, my follow up shots were much further than if I had "layed up" but still beat my average on 18 score by 2-3 strokes(I played 36 today). I understand that terrain and weather play a big part in shot selection and that everyone putts differently but I still want to know what you guys think about on longer putts. Do you throw it harder to keep the putt straight and low, or do you loft it to ensure a good follow up shot? Or am I just such a novice that I can't do both? Also, I throw a 174 SS Wizard as my putter. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
