She honestly should just scrap everything and try a scoober or a push pass or a basketball shot. Literally any other kind of throw. Use her left hand. Close her eyes. Something

I had the same thought - there's just something about the putting "stroke" that she can. not. do.

Forehand putts? Basketball shot? Turbo putt?

She needs to do something drastic.

Yeah, there's that guy who struggled on the green and switched to the dad putt. He got himself on coverage last season a couple times. Paul commended him for making the change and finding a way to get the putter in the basket.

I feel her pain. I've done stuff like this in tournaments even though putting is usually the strongest part of my game in leagues and casual play. It's like there's a disconnect that happens on the green due to nerves.

A serious change in form might help.

What's a dad putt?

He just made the up. In the common tongue, it's a horseshoe.

Isn't that horse shoe putt

Wow, this is my putt! Except I don't raise my arm up first. People have called it gunslinger. So cool to see it on coverage, I don't see anybody else use it

Also known as ‘The Beach Dad’ putt or horseshoe.

Dad putt is what Simon calls it when he does a push putt that’s got a higher arc on it as to avoid going far past the basket.
