The Week on the tours:

It was a week of going low on the PGA Tour this week. Something we have not seen for a couple of months. After the ridiculous events last Sunday at the Open, we got to see what these guys can really do this week. Adam Scott claimed his second win of the year at the Booz Allen Classic at Avenel. His 62 in the second round out did Charles Howell's 61 in the first round as Scott cruised to an easy 4 shot victory.

The Stadler's had a big week. Father Craig went low on Sunday with a 64 to win by four on the Champion's tour, while son Kevin, who had a good U.S. Open, won in a playoff on the Nationwide Tour.

Next week is the Women's U.S. Open at the Orchards Golf Club in South Hadley, Massachusetts.

Tip of the week:

Long Putts:

The key on the long putts is always speed. You are rarely going to make a put of ten feet or more (even the pros make a low percentage of these), so you want to make sure that you are close to the hole for the next one. Speed is even more important than line on the longer putts especially if they break considerably.

People don't practice long putts enough. A good way to do this is to practice before your round on the practice green. Stand at one end and putt balls to the farthest fringe, the goal being to get it as close to the fringe line as possible. By hitting to the fringe instead of a target you focus only on the speed. It doesnt hurt to practice your shorter putts like this as well. You then leave the green to your round without the possible frustration of missing several putts on the practice green before your round.
