According to former Open Champion Louis
Oosthuizen: “My putting strategy is simple. If
you’re not making putts, don’t be afraid to change
your technique,” says the South African, who has
used several di erent putting grip styles during
the past few seasons.
One of the unwritten rules of putting is to do
whatever makes the ball fi nd the hole in a manner
you can repeat consistently. If your adopted grip
style – whether it’s cross-handed, overlapping
or even the claw grip – is comfortable and you’re
making putts, stick with it.84 AUGUST 2019 | golf australia
