Steve Pate on Senior Golf: How I Practice

Steve Pate, 6-time PGA Tour winner and current player on the PGA Tour Champions goes through his practice regimen and explains how important it is to hit on the best surfaces to ensure his practice is most effective. This includes hitting on Fiberbuilt Golf's Player Preferred Series mats, which give him the most realistic simulation of hitting on real grass fairways and the feedback in feel and sound that better players prefer.

I was walking with Steve and Sam Randolph on the 18th hole at Cypress once. Steve was having an EPIC meltdown the likes of which I'd never seen from a professional. I've lived a sheltered life 😂

Speaking as an older player, I agree. Chipping it the hardest. I just do like Nicklaus did. I putt them. I beat the chippers in that regard all the time. Overall, I am going to be closer. Older players are most all horrible short putters. That is because they never take the time to actually learn how to putt. It is much more complicated than the average person comprehends. Good putters are not born. They take the time to find out why the putter is arced and why the blade APPEARS to open and close. They learn why all good putters today release the clubhead. Over the years gripping in general has totally changed for a reason. Now we have big flat topped grips, left hand low, and right hand almost not on the putter, ultra light grip, for a reason. Anchoring or not anchoring a long putter has no effect. That is why it is coming back.

Steve Pate was once asked "how come you don't lift weight and workout?" He replied, "Because they're heavy." Total doof
