tournament tomorrow

[tankmlee]

i have my first tournament tomorrow, i was very confident until the wind started picking up the last few days, i can drive well in the wind, and my upshots are usually okay, but I'm missing far too many putts at ranges i know i can make them, any last minute tips for putting in the wind or dealing with nerves associated with unfamiliar shots?

Edit: im more accurate with the push putt but i can spin putt in wind i just get overwhelmed by missing

Lol, you are already thinking way too much. One shot at a time, be in the moment.

Great tips on this stuff and more in Craig's corner:

Two things, 1 to remember, 1 to try

A) if you don't feel confident you're going to make the putt (85% or better), then lay up.

B) try using a neutral flying midrange when putting into the wind (short-term solution)

Did alright in the first round, not so well in the second round, I just got tired from all the standing.

I also think I started over thinking my putts once it got windy

Yes, tournament play can be really slow. The only time that I carry a stool for DG is when I'm playing a tournament.

I just found a stool on Amazon for 8$, good deal

Very late, but keep your putts flatter in the wind. This will have less effects of wind direction.
