I spent a couple hours yesterday watching the PGA Mercedes Championship. One of the first things I noticed was how large some of the greens are on the Plantation Course in Maui, Hawaii.

The good thing about larger greens is that it’s easier for those pros to get their ball on the green - given such a large target.

The bad thing is it makes for some pretty long putts.

Watching the pros putting some of those long putts was absolutely amazing. Their ability to read a long putt on a green with numerous undulations was uncanny.

I’ve heard the saying “Drive for Show, Putt for Dough”. The truth of the saying was very evident during yesterday’s round. These guys can read their putts, and gauge their distances remarkably. It’s reinforced my desire to improve my putting and take a few strokes off my game.

If you haven’t taken a moment to watch these guys at work, I encourage you to do so. They are impressive.
