Step inside Stephen Sweeney's state-of-the-art putting studio, where he analyzes and instructs a stable of top-100 Tour pros. We have something for everyone in this episode - observe a pro lesson as Stephen works with Smylie Kaufman, then transitions to insights for the amateur with Charlie Hulme.

If you're struggling with putting, you've come to the right place! Stephen demonstrates a number of different drills, debunks stroke mechanics theories, and discusses green reading and pace control.
