Why can’t I putt?

Because it’s golf and it’s fricking hard.

I would spell it first before even attempting any strokes

Hand eye coordination

Muscle tone.

Breath.

Vision

How much is riding on it.

I was angry and drinking...

Find something that works for you. Don't do what everyone else says you should do. I personally put left hand low claw grip on 3 footers and in. On the moderate putts, I do pop stroke looking shot, and then on long putts, I dont use a line and make a slow deliberate stroke.

I rarely 3 putt now (once every 2-3 rounds), and I miss far less in the moderate range.

90% of putts that are short don't go in.

Won’t solve all the problems. But i figured if I can sink 5’ putts almost automatic I should never three putt.

I practice on the putting green and try to roll the ball to the hole. If I'm long or short, it tells me that the green is faster/slower than my natural assessment.
So, instead of recalibrating (each and every round), I just pretend the hole is closer/farther than it is.
The reads are the same. The line and roll will be the same. But how hard I think I have to hit it is modified by the adjusted speed of the green.

For instance, Santa Maria has some fast greens. I usually have to aim about 1/3 to 1/2 the actual distance of the to the hole to get my putting weight right.
The greens on Copper mill are so slow that I have to aim 1/3 past the hole to get it there.

If you practice or play enough, you should be able to avoid three putting.
