Instinct Putting: The Innovative Science-Based Method to Look Where You Putt with Eric Alpenfels


Listen Later

GS#1010 This time on the Golf Smarter Podcast, Eric Alpenfels, Director of Instruction at Pinehurst,  discusses the innovative approach of instinct putting, which encourages golfers to focus on the hole rather than the ball. Alpenfels shares insights on how this technique can improve distance control and overall performance on the green, while also discussing the evolution of golf equipment and the importance of trust in the putting process. His latest book, 'Evidence-Based Golf,' contrasts empirical and non-empirical evidence, emphasizing the need for golf instructors to rely on research rather than anecdotal evidence.
