LIV Golf and YouTube star Bryson DeChambeau is never afraid to hand out little nuggets of advice in order for amateur players to improve their games.
Despite DeChambeau’s stock yardages being above and beyond the realms of possibility for most, the big-hitting American has consistently claimed the fundamentals play a massive part in his success: set-up, grip, ball position, swing path, and takeaway.
DeChambeau regularly details mistakes amateur players make while looking to improve their games and lower handicaps.
Now, in his latest Instagram post, the 31-year-old has posted a clip offering the “best” piece of advice he has to avoid three-putting.

DeChambeau’s hilarious Instagram post initially involved him holding up a sign on the side of a freeway that read, “Send this to a friend that always three putts.”
The LIV Golf man then posted a short clip offering his most important piece of advice whilst on the greens.
“If you’re three-putting, the best thing you can do is practice your speed control,” DeChambeau explained.
“I’ve found what works for me is using a ruler. I put a ruler down and marked ten feet, 20 feet, and 30 feet, establishing how hard I needed to hit my putts to get to ten feet, 20 feet, 30 feet, etc.
DeChambeau added: “What I can do is practice a ten, 20 and 30 all day long, and all I am doing is referencing my foot and exactly where I am taking my putter head back and over time, that will turn into a feel. For example, I can look up at you and hit a ten-footer just like that. For me, that’s what gets me to control my speed the best and perform at the highest level.”
Does Bryson DeChambeau’s advice work
Pace is everything on the greens for amateur players, and listening to DeChambeau’s advice could save shots.
Whether using the American’s ruler method or working on another technique to control speed, all aspiring players should aim to ensure the ball ends up inside tap-in range.
The stats also indicate that amateurs should focus on their putting. 25 handicap players and above often three-putt once every 7.6 holes or twice a round. Five handicap players three-putt once every 20 holes, and scratch golfers three-putt once every 39 holes.
It may seem unfashionable, but getting down the putting green is absolutely vital for any aspiring golfer to reach the level they genuinely think they’re capable of.
