On downhillers, it's easy to let the first putt get away from you. I picture another hole half to two-thirds of the way to the cup. Then I focus on rolling the ball the correct speed for the imaginary hole. It rolls out and often finds the real hole. On uphill putts, I do the opposite, looking well past the cup. Here's a practice drill to try. Place two tees directly in front of a hole about an inch apart. Practice hitting putts at just the right pace. Notice how some balls graze the outside of either tee and fall into the side of the hole. This shows that you don't have to hit the cup dead center to make a putt, provided the ball is rolling at the right speed.
