While scrolling through Instagram late last night, I came across some Bryson DeChambeau content that really struck a chord – a tip to help regular golfers like myself who just can’t hit frustrating 3-putts.

Without feeling personally attacked (I kid… in a way), I watched the video of the two-time major champ a handful of times to really digest how easy it is. should be entering your putting. Of course, nothing in golf is easy, but hey, simplifying the game as much as possible can go a long way in improving.

While there are tons of different ways to try to feel comfortable and confident holding the flat stick, DeChambeau says developing a feel will help the most. So in the video below, he goes over an easy trick to do it effectively.

Bryson DeChambeau says a ruler can help set your distance control

“If you’re 3-putting, the best thing you can do is practice your speed control,” DeChambeau says. “What works for me is to use a ruler (on the ground) and mark 10 feet, 20 feet, 30 feet and determine how hard you need to hit your putts (go the necessary distance).”

Could put really be that simple? DeChambeau demonstrates how having ingrown back length can lead to the results you’re looking for.

“I can practice (putting from different distances) all day long and all I do is refer to my putt – and show me accurate where I have to take that putter head back,” he explains. “Over time, the work and practice you put in will settle into a feeling.”

DeChambeau then looks up at the camera and begins hitting no-look putts, simply matching the putter head with where his cue foot is to determine speed and distance.

“For me, it’s what makes me control my speed the best and allows me to perform at the highest level,” he adds.

So if you’re a player who just can’t stop 3-putting — a golfer with whom I completely identify — go ahead and try DeChambeau’s tips the next time you practice. With some commitment and repetition, you can start shaving lines off your scorecard in no time.
