» Your ball is in what the Rules call "temporary water." You may play your ball as it lies or take free relief. You take free relief by finding the nearest point of complete relief where you are clear of the puddle and then drop your original ball away from the puddle and within one club-length of that point, not nearer the hole. You may also take relief from a puddle of water if your ball is in a bunker.

» A good drill for developing the feel for distance is to putt a ball 30 feet. Then putt the next one 29 feet. Then 28 feet, and so on. An average golfer misses short putts because of fear or a lack of concentration. Instead of just stroking the putt into the hole, he or she is thinking about any number of things -- including other players who are watching for the result. Don't guide short putts into the hole, the right way is to approach a short putt from behind and line it up. If you decide it breaks two inches left of the cup, then that's where you want to strike it -- not jerk it into the hole.
