Good job ShotTaker!! I am really proud of the tournament you had, though I hate the part about the negative swing thoughts. Since you have experienced success, you need to draw from this positive experience and commit yourself to positive thoughts. The ball will go where you "see it" or "think it" in your mind most of the time.
Now, as far as a free putting drill to help you with distance control, here's what you do. Be sure to go to the putting green before you play your round and work on right hand only putts from 25 feet away. Try to get every ball to stop just past the hole within a 3 foot range. Next put both hands on the putter and repeat this drill from the same distance and attempt to 2 putt each time.
Each hand has a different role in the putting game. The right hand controls the distance of the putt, while the left hand controls the line of the putt. So if you are having trouble with the line of your putts, work on putting from a short distance (3-6 ft.).
Why putt from 25 feet to practice?? A study a few years ago found that when comparing amateurs vs professionals putting from 3 feet, there was little difference in percentage of putts made. From 6 feet the amateurs were still very close to the pros. The huge difference was on long distance putts. So it just makes sense based on this study to improve on getting that first putt within the 3 foot range.
Stay positive and work on those long putts ShotTaker..... it will result in improved performace!
