I’m not a good golfer but I did play in HS and was a practice guy / gopher in college.
My opinion is some people are just good at putting and some are not. Unless you have a ton of time on your hands it’s hard for a casual to really improve on it. Also if you’re playing not great courses the greens are unpredictable anyway. Cam Smith would probably be a shitty putter at my local garbage muni.
You can work on your irons and short game though. I would focus on that.
But to elaborate on some people good, there is definitely an ability to translate spatial floor feeling from your feet to mental map on a cognitive level that people naturally have or learn better as a child than adult. I feel like I took too much mdma in the 00s to gain that function now
