Golf Instruction Lessons of 2012: I.K. Kim

There are no such things as 'gimmes' under pressure
I.K. Kim was about a foot away from winning her first major at the Kraft Nabisco Championship. She wound up suffering perhaps 2012's most painful loss, as a stunning lip-out from close range led to a playoff defeat. Keep this in mind, the next time you sweep away that short par putt on your home course. Take your time, and square the putter behind the ball before you putt. Give them the respect they deserve." If one of the best women golfers in the world can miss a tap-in, you can, too. And oh yeah, don't be afraid to make your opponent putt them out every once in awhile as well.
