DO putt when you're tired...if you already have a good putting stroke. You are absolutely going to have to drain putts in real situations when you are tired or otherwise not in a perfect mental state of mind. You will need practice battling yourself. I find myself battling in those basement winter sessions almost every time. Work through it. Don't make yourself a stranger to triumphing over this during real rounds. Work through this in the basement.
You putt, like, 36 times maximum in a round.
What is the benefit of putting till you're exhausted you can barely lob the putts at the basket and just absolutely destroy your muscle memory after 200-300 putts?
The point of not putting while fatigued is to maintain your form perfection. When you are fatigued you create bad muscle memory.
You putt till you get a little tired and stop. You take a break for 10 or 15 mins and come back and putt again.
After time you can putt longer and longer sessions.
But if you just put while tired and drained where you cannot perform the motion clean and smooth, you're literally making bad muscle memory. All the work you just spent draining putts for the last 5 minutes will go right out the window.
Our muscles do bad things when we over work them and dont give them a break.
