Here’s a simple technique to improve your putting.
Before you can expect to putt well on greens with a slope, you need to learn to putt well on the flat. This will train you to swing your putter through a straight line and hit the ball squarely on the face of the putter.
How often have you been frustratingly close to sinking a putt only to come up short? Or maybe you have only just missed the hole to see your ball go sailing past adding too much distance for the return putt.
A lot of games have been lost on the putting green and in most instances it has been due to the wrong distance, rather than the direction of the ball.
We all strive to improve our game but making changes can be a complicated business. Try using the most humble of training aids to help conquest your putting complaints – a handful of tees.
1. Hole out, every time
The best putters in the world are those with a silky stroke who can hit their putts with perfect pace every time. The ideal pace for every putt is the ball rolling at the hole at a speed where it will drop, but if it passes it will only roll a foot or so past. When you practice putting, place a tee peg in the ground 18 inches behind the hole. This is your target. Look at the peg beyond the hole, and then putt.
