037: David Orr and All Things Putting


Listen Later

This week, the crew welcomes world-renowned putting coach David Orr, founder of Flatstick Academy and putting instructor at Pine Needles Lodge and Golf Club in Pinehurst, NC. With decades of experience coaching Tour players and everyday golfers alike, David joins Erik, Jayson, and Tyson to unpack the biggest misconceptions amateurs have about putting. We talk about everything from distance control to stroke mechanics to poor practice habits. They dive into the difference between putting indoors and building mechanics versus putting outdoors to build skill. They talk about mallets versus blades (briefly!), and why what you see Tour players doing on the practice green isn’t always a great representation of what you should be doing. David also shares his insights on productive winter practice routines and offers perspective on why short putts make even skilled players sweat.
