Why You Miss Short Putts Under Pressure (And How to Fix It) With David Orr


Listen Later

Most golfers don't miss short putts because of their stroke... they miss because of what happens in their mind under pressure.

In this episode of the Flow Golf Podcast, Hallam Morgan sits down with David Orr, founder of Flatstick Academy and one of the most respected putting coaches in the world, to break down why golfers choke on short putts and how elite players train their mental game differently.

David shares powerful insights from decades of coaching tour players, including why emotional regulation matters more than mechanics, how the "fear loop" sabotages performance, and the exact mental processes great putters use to stay calm, connected, and confident when it matters most.

If you've ever missed a four-footer to win, qualify, or shoot your best score, this episode will change how you think about putting forever.

In this episode, you'll learn:
✅ Why missing short putts is rarely a technical problem
✅ How fear and focus hijack your stroke under pressure
✅ The difference between practicing putting and training performance
✅ How elite players reset faster after mistakes
✅ Simple mental habits that separate great putters from everyone else
