Lipping out a well struck putt that you were sure was going down when it was six inches from the hole is one the most excruciating experiences for most golfers. But like everything in this crazy game, there can be two sides to every story.
In the attached article from The Golfers Journal this month, the Club Pro Guy gives you a different perspective on how to look at these disappointments as the grandest of all “Buts” and use them to your post game advantage.
It may not help your score, but it will do your self esteem a world of good. I like his attitude.
In a further bit of self-deprecating humor I note that the author claims he led the Mexican Mini-Tour over a 10-year period in SPGOS-Strokes Gained: Punching Out Sideways. Guess that qualifies him as an expert.

Interesting article, but I dislike lip outs, to me it just means good putt that didn’t go in.
You are such a realist!
Moe,
Another gem! Happy New Year!
