Steven Sweeney: The Mind, Mechanics, and Feel of Putting

What really separates great putters from everyone else?

In this episode of Golf Beneath the Surface, Chase and Raymond sit down with world-renowned putting coach Stephen Sweeney to talk about what goes into becoming a great putter beyond just having good mechanics.

Stephen shares his journey from growing up in Ireland to working with some of the best players in the world, and how his approach to coaching has evolved over the years. We get into the importance of understanding how players see and process information, why focusing too much on technique can actually hurt performance, and how the best players prepare their putting for tournament play.

We also dive into the mental side of putting, the difference between hitting a good putt and making a putt, and some interesting conversations around putter design, alignment, and zero-torque putters.

A great conversation about simplifying putting, practicing with purpose, and learning to trust what you're doing on the greens.
