"I honestly believe,  if you want to improve your putting and are willing to put the practice time in, you'll get your handicap down."

Tell me about your game before you joined the academy?

When I joined the academy my handicap was 15. I felt the weakest part of my game was green reading.

Has your putting improved since joining the academy?

Yes. I was a 15 handicap when I joined, I'm now down to 7.8 whilst some of it is down to chipping / short game, most of it is putting.

This was beyond my expectations when I first joined the academy. My biggest achievement is getting to single figures.

My goal was to get down to 12 hcap, but once I was holing more putts, as well as improving my short game,  I started chasing single figures. 

I'd back myself to 2 putt every green now, my lag putting puts me close enough to hole the next one.

The techniques you've taught me gives me the confidence to put everything past the hole, to give it a chance, as I know I'll make the putts back.

I thought I was poor at green reading, you've proved it was not the reads that were wring, but inconsistencies in my stroke that were leading to the misses.

My putts per round has gone from an average of 32, to 28 which is 2.5 putts per round lower than the national average for my handicap (this is according to Shotscope).

On a scale of 1-10 how likely would you be to refer a friend to the academy?

10

Why?

If someone wants to improve their putting, the academy has all of the answers, plus the support with the Q&A sessions helps if you're struggling with any part of it.
