For some, putting is the hardest part of the golf game. Instead
of trying to hit the ball over 200 yards, you're just trying to
make 20 to 5 feet. It's a lot shorter, yet golfers can't seem to
make it. If you're having problems with putting, then these golf
tips should be able to help you with your game. But if your
problem is reading the greens, then the only thing to do is to
get more practice and experience.
The following golf tips are aimed at improving your putting
skills.
Grip & Stance
* It's important to start with the correct grip. First, lightly
place your hands on the club. It's not a python you have to
squeeze to death. Use a very light version of your normal grip,
but with the pinky on the club, rather than overlapped or
interlocked. When you close your fingers, don't force the club
into an angle. Address the ball squarely and relax.
* Place the ball toward the front of your stance, centered
between your shoulders. Keep your hands near the top of the grip
and focus your eyes directly over the ball. The target line is
perpendicular to a power saw that would slice your body in half.
This makes it easy to give a natural pendulum stroke along the
target line.
* If you're right-handed, lock in your left hand. Left-handers,
lock in the right. The putter face should be perpendicular to
the target line, and the ball at the sweet spot. As you lean
over, your eyes come into line parallel with the target line. A
ball dropped from your nose would land onto that line.
* Feet will be generally set no wider than the hips, weight
balanced slightly toward the inside of their left heel.
Ball
* Your ball should be placed roughly between the center of your
stance and your left instep. This squares up the path and the
clubhead prior to impact. Also, it allows any approach angle to
level out enough to for good follow-through.
Stroke
* Sweeping strokes are usually positioned slightly left, while a
tapping motion should be more centered. Your goal is to strike
the ball in the center, unless you're putting on a downhill
slope. Then, try hitting closer to the toe of the putter. This
gives slightly less impact force, and lowers the odds of
overshooting the hole. A smooth stroke back, followed by a
forward motion in the same plane is the ideal. Remember, left
hand holds, right hand strokes.
With all that's said and done, out of all the golf tips
available on putting, the best one is still PRACTICE. As with a
lot of things in life, practice does make perfect but this is
even more so when it comes to good putting. One of the best ways
to putt better is to gain more confidence in yourself and your
strokes. This kind of confidence only comes with practice. If
you've been practicing those 3-5 foot putts and sinking them,
there's no reason why you can't get out on the course and make
those putts when they really matter.
