Putting is my favourite part of the game. But I struggled some in 2007 despite the good things that happened to me – getting married and winning my first Major, the U.S. Women’s Open. Like our amateur counterparts, we pros have trouble sticking to a practise routine. I became less focused and got away from doing the drills that made me a good putter. I went from leading the tour in putts per green hit in regulation in 2006 to 16th in that category in 2007. So I got back to work. For the mental side, I started talking to Dr. Joe Parent, author of Zen Golf. He encouraged me to believe in myself and not get upset when I miss a putt. You’ll see a couple of Dr. P’s tips here. With my swing coach, Bryan Lebedevitch, I’ve been concentrating on basics: making sure my stroke isn’t too long and my speed is good. Plus, I’m back to my drills, 20 minutes to 45 minutes every time I practise. I know exactly what I want to do before I hit that first putt. And I’m back on top in the putting stats for 2008.
