The Easiest Way To Perfect Your Golf Putting Skills

In any round of golf the putter is the club that comes out of the bag most frequently. A golfer playing to par is expected to two putt all 18 greens and generally go round the course at double that score, 72. It is clear that proficiency with the putter is an extremely important part of playing golf. It does not involve strength and fitness so it is something that you can practise and become as good as everyone else.

It is important to be practising the right things of course and if you try this company, you will get the tips you need to put you on the right lines. There are several ingredients to becoming a good putter and some of the elements are in the mind. It is important to have a mind free from distractions and concentrate on the putt you are about to make.

Developing a routine that suits you is important and using that routine every single time you putt:

• Take time to read the line; one of the greatest mistakes that amateurs make is to misread the line, most commonly by underestimating the break.


• You need to develop a grip that suits you. There is no one grip that is 100% better than another but it must be something that gets you bringing the club face square to the ball on impact and therefore getting the ball to travel down the line you have selected.


• Alignment is very important. On the practice green you can practise alignment by placing clubs down the line parallel to the target and placing your feet down that line.


• You must be able to read the pace of greens and whether you are going to putt downhill, uphill and whether the putt is flat.


• You have to be relaxed and balanced so that you can achieve a smooth stroke, back slightly accelerating through the ball and then following through.

Pressure Putts

It is not easy to replicate pressure when you are practising but remember that pressure does come into play during a round. A good routine to try to add pressure to your practice is to set yourself a target of successfully holing a number of putts of a certain length and having to start again if you miss one. Imagine the pressure of needing to hole your 10th in a row or starting again!

One of the best distances to try is 4 feet because if you can hole these every time then you will see that reflected in your scores. Even if the putt is perfectly flat you have a challenge to meet. It does not make sense to start out with too difficult a putt. Even if you can simply build up confidence by holing 10 flat putts that will certainly improve your performance on the green when you are actually playing.

Whether you want to increase the distance slightly or the number of putts to avoid starting again is up to you. Either way this will help your putting.
