Most every golfer has had one of those days on the green where absolutely everything less than ten feet goes in.
You just can't seem to help but hit the ball on the right line and at the right speed.
That is often referred to as being" in the zone".
Most people set out to find the zone, particularly if the were in it the last time they played.
But there is one thing about the zone that most golfers neglect to realize.
They have never found the putting zone, it has always found them.
Life in the putting zone is simple.
The correct line jumps out at you and the feel for the speed on every putt is automatically set in your mind and easily translates to the body with no extra effort.
Your routine just happens without thought, and every putt comes off just as intended.
There are no technical thoughts about the stroke in the putting zone.
You don't miss putts, so you don't get any dings in your confidence.
You have no reason to second guess yourself, and you don't.
Not in the zone.
You can never find the putting zone, because the very act of looking for it makes it a conscious thing.
The putting zone is in you subconscious mind.
The best way to get into the putting zone is to let it find you.
You do this by eliminating all technical thoughts of your stroke.
Your focus should be on the line and speed.
Those are the only things that exist in the putting zone.
There is no room for technicalities or stroke keys in the zone.
In fact, they are the doors that keep you out of the zone.
If you want to get into your putting zone, don't go looking for it.
Put yourself in the right frame of mind by focusing on the line and speed.
The zone will find you once your are mentally ready to enter it.
