Leave Yourself Tap-ins
Two putts start with one good leave — make it easy on yourself
Chip vs Pitch
Default to chip — lower, simpler shots are more consistent around the green

Build confidence inside 6 feet — these are stroke-savers you can control
Read Greens Better
See slope from low side — simplify reads with better perspective
Build a Routine
Same routine every putt — consistency breeds confidence under pressure
