Here's a golf tip that everyone should try for 2 or 3 rounds.

It's likely to teach you one of the most important golf lessons you'll every learn. Putting is not what's holding you back.

PGA Tour players make about 95% of their putts, inside 3'. Give yourself every 3' putt. (Most already do that.)

PGA Tour players make 50% of their 8' putts. Give yourself 50% of your 8' putts.

Come on back and post how much your scores improved. You'll probably be shocked that score improvement doesn't match your expectations.

If it does dramatically impact your scores, you have ONE major putting flaw. ALL putts are "distance putts". Stop worrying about your aim or direction and just worry about distance.

Unless you're blind, most every putt you hit, could go in the hole, at a given speed.
