Golf Putting Tests to Check Your Accuracy
by Staff Writer
Are you experiencing a lack of accuracy in your putting
game? Then you may not be striking the ball square at impact which is
absolutely critical for controlling accuracy in putting. There are a few quick
tests that can provide you immediate feedback as to how square your putter
clubface is at impact and therefore how accurate your putting game is. There
could be a number of reasons of why you are not striking the ball square at
impact but these test well let you know if you need to make changes to your putting
fundamentals.
The first test is to lay two balls on the ground touching
each other. Then take your normal putting stroke and strike the balls at the
same time. If both balls move at the same time and go the same distance then
your putter clubface is square at impact and you are in good shape and your
putting fundamentals are correct. However, if the inside ball moves farther
then you are striking the ball with the heel of the putter clubface. The
probable causes for this are either the putting stroke is coming inside to
outside the target line or the clubface is open at impact. On the other hand if
the outside ball moves first and goes farther then you are striking the ball
with the toe of the putter clubface first. In this case the swing path of your
putting stroke is coming outside to inside of the target line or the clubface
was closed at impact. In either case this test is telling you that there is
something wrong with your putting fundamentals and you will need to investigate
them in order to develop accuracy in your putting game.
Another good test is to use a golf ball that has a line
around it. A lot of range balls have lines around them and works well for this
test. If you do not have a range ball then use a magic mark to draw a circle
line around the ball. Now place the ball on the ground with the line facing the
target line. When you are looking down on the ball the line would be parallel
to your feet. Strike the ball with your normal putting stroke. If the ball rolls
with the line staying parallel to the target line then you are hitting the ball
square. However, if the ball rolls with a lot of wobble then it is time for you
to review your putting fundamentals and make some correction.
If you are unable to pass these tests then there may be a
number of reasons for what is causing the problem. A few possible areas to look at are improper
body alignment, upper body not working
as one unit, unstable lower body, looking up to soon, flexing of the wrists and
eyes not over the ball just to name a few. However these are quick test you can perform
often to determine if your golf putting fundamentals are solid or whether it is
time you need to do some work.
The ability to strike the ball square at impact
every time is not easy and does take a lot of practice, patience and good
understanding of the proper putting fundamentals.

Steps to Stay on Top of Your Putting Game
by Staff Writer
A key factor
in keeping your golf score down is staying on top of your putting game. We have
heard time and again that putting accounts for roughly forty percent of the
strokes in a game however, amateurs and weekend golfers still spend the least
amount of time keeping up with their putting game. If you feel you fall in this
category it may be time to step back and assess your own situation and ask
yourself if you’re putting game could use some improvement. Below is a list of
some general guide lines to help you assess your putting game.
- Take time to review the basic fundamentals of putting and ask yourself if you are implementing them and whether or not you have picked up any bad habits. Take a look at your grip and ask whether this style is still working for you. The grip is one area of golf that does vary among professional players. Review your set up and posture and make sure you have correct alignment to the target line. Are you implementing the correct fundamentals of a solid putting stroke? Be sure you are rotating your upper body as one solid unit and keeping your lower body still.
- Check that you are striking the ball square at impact. The main purpose of your grip, setup and putting stroke comes down to striking the ball square with the clubface. A good way to check this is with the two ball test. Set two balls on the ground touching each other. Then take your normal putting stroke striking both balls. If the balls roll the same distance then you are in alignment. If one ball moves faster and farther then the clubface is not hitting the ball square and you need to review you’re putting fundamentals. A second test is use either a range ball that has a line around it or make a line with a magic marker. Then take a putt with this ball and see if the line wobbles or rolls straight. If the line has a lot of wobble then you need to work on your fundamentals.
- Be sure you are implementing a pre-putt routine every time you reach the green. All professional tour players do this because it helps make sure they have not missed anything in assessing their putt. Properly survey the green, pick the apex or breaking point of the putt and check closely around the hole for anything that may influence your roll. These are only a few of the steps that should be followed every time.
- Ask yourself if you are in control of the mental aspects of your putting game. If you are missing a lot of critical putts or getting in the habit of taking a lot of give-me putts then this is an area you may need some work on. Get in the habit of visualizing your putt before you take your putt. Most professionals practice a lot of visualization techniques. Remove any negativity when you reach the green and use your memory bank to recall past great putts that you have made.
- Practice building confidence and improving on your putting skills. Before a match spend time on the practice putting green doing a lot of short putts. This helps get your feel and rhythm going and builds confidence. By sinking a lot of short putts it sends positive messages to your subconscious and strengthens your self confidence. Also start a practice putting routine that well improve your accuracy and build consistency. Review the different putting drills commonly used by professionals and choose the ones that will focus on eliminating any weakness you may have.

How to Putt Lesson 101 for Beginners
by Staff Writer
For those of
you just taking up golf you may have already realized how important putting is
and that it represents a little less than half the strokes in the game. In
order to get off in the right direction I have outlined the key fundamentals
that must be incorporated into your putting game to be successful. Although
putting styles do differ among professional tour players there are certain
fundamentals that they all follow.The primary focus of this golf putting
lesson is to highlight what you need to learn early and follow religiously until
they become second nature.
Before
getting started I would like to address the putting grip. This is probably the
one area in golf that differs the most among players because there are
different styles that all work. For starting out I recommend you use the
reverse overlap grip because it is the most common and very fundamentally
sound. It is basically the same as your regular golf grip except your left
index wraps around your right hand fingers. The main advantage of this grip is
that it encourages your upper body to act as one solid unit and helps reduce
your wrists from bending.
THE KEY PUTTING FUNDAMENTALS
Follow a Pre-Putt Routine: Every time you approach the green go
through the same steps every time of analyzing your putt. All professional
players have a pre-putt routine that they follow even though the steps may vary
among players. This evolves surveying the green, determining your target line,
where the ball may break and the condition of the green itself. By following
the same steps in the same order every time you well feel more confident that
you have gathered all the information you need to make a good decision. This
also reduces any last minute stress or second guessing before you take your
stroke.
Setup and Proper Alignment: After your pre-putt routine the setup
and proper body alignment is critical. Once you have determined your target
line you want to position your feet, hips and shoulders all parallel to the
target line. In addition you want to position your eyes directly over the ball.
Without a proper setup you well not become accurate and your ball well travel
in the wrong path.
Form a “V” Shape with Your Upper Body:
A key fundamental is
that your upper body forms a “V” shape with your shoulders and arms and they all
move together in unity. The putting stroke should mimic the pendulum movement
of a clock. Your shoulders will rotate during your stroke but your head must be
stable and your eyes always focused on the ball. The amount of speed that you
well apply to the ball well be based on the movement of your upper body. This
upper body movement and the length of your stroke is what controls your
distance. You want to develop a smooth pace to your stroke with the ultimate
goal of keeping your putter head on the target line and square to the ball.
Maintain a Stationary Lower Body: Keep your hips, legs and feet all
stable during your stroke. Any small movement or shifting will throw your putt
off course or may add unnecessary power to your swing.
Keep Your Head Down and Eyes Over the
Ball: This is
probably the number one bad habit of beginners in that they have a tendency to
look up too soon to see where their putt is going. You must keep your head down
and steady with your eyes focused directly over the ball in order to achieve
positive results in putting. A good habit to follow is to count to two after
your entire stroke is completed before looking up .Legendary golfer Gary Player
says this is probably the number one important aspect to good putting. He goes
on to say that he does not look up but simply listens to whether or not the
ball has gone in.
Keep Your Wrists From Bending: Any bending, flexing or turning on the
wrists will result in poor accuracy and lack of distance control. Beginners
also have a tendency to apply speed to the ball by turning their wrists and
then snapping them back in place. You well not be able to develop consistency
with distance and also not be able to keep the putter head square during
impact.
Visualize Your Putt: Most professional PGA players well use
some type of visualization technique. Once you are set up and taking a few
practices putts, close your eyes briefly for a moment and visualize in your
mind the putt going in. This should be the last positive thought on your mind
right before you take your actual putt. Remove any negativity from your
thoughts and above all do not second guess yourself or start to reanalyze your
putt. If any of these thoughts surface then step away and clear your thoughts.
Further
recommendations for beginners starting out are to practice a lot of short three
foot putts. By sinking a lot of short putts this will send a positive message
to your subconscious and help build self confidence. Secondly for longer putts,
say fifteen feet or more, concentrate more on distance then on accuracy. Spend
more time on the correct distance and speed rather than trying to sink a long
putt. If it happens then great but your goal on long putts should be to get
close enough on your second putt in order to two putt the hole. Even for
professionals the percentages for long puts is not that high.
By simply
incorporating these seven key putting fundamentals early on you well be able to
develop a very successful putting game. Try not to over analyze your game too
much early on but to simply learn the basics first. Learning the basics first
is the best golf putting lesson for you to master.

Steps for a Pre-Putt Putting Routine
by Staff Writer
Putting styles among professional PGA tour players do differ but one thing that is a constant is that they all follow a pre-putt routine before every putt they take. The reasoning behind this is they can be assured that they have collected all the information necessary to make the best decision they can about their putt.
The order of the steps may vary among players but they well implement the steps in order for the pre-putt routine that they have designed for themselves every time they are about to putt. Another advantage of a pre-putt routine is that it well relieve some pressure off you prior to your putt because you will feel more confident that you have not over looked anything.

Another advantage of a pre-putt routine is that it well relieve some pressure off you prior to your putt because you will feel more confident that you have not over looked anything.
- Begin by taking a general survey of the green as you are approaching the green. Look for the overall tilt of the green and for any surrounding lakes, ponds or mountains. Putts will tend to roll away from mountains and towards lakes and ponds.
- Squat down behind the ball and begin to determine where the ball may break and pick out your spot to aim. Visualize your target line and start to determine the amount of speed that well be needed.
- Walk clockwise around your imaginary target line while looking for any other slope or tilt that you may have missed from your first angle.
- Get behind the hole and squat down again to get a view from another angle to determine if your first assessment is correct or is there anything else you need to consider.
- Walk up close to the hole and take a close examination around the last 12-14 inches. As the ball gets closer to the hole and losses speed it will be the more effected by any breaks or imperfections in the green. Now continue back to the ball walking clockwise and inspecting your target line on the way back.
- Get setup and take a few practice strokes with the feel and stoke you feel you will need. Glance again at your target line and the spot you well be aiming for. Take your last practice stroke with your eyes briefly closed and memorize that feeling.
- Finally right before you take your actual putt visualize the putt traveling along the target line and going in the hole. Also, you want to eliminate any negative thoughts. A helpful tip is to recall a previous good putt that you have made in the past. You are now ready to take your actual putt with the confidence that you have completely covered all the bases.

Four Simple Tips for Beginners
By Robin Boddy
Whether you having been playing golf for years or you are relatively new to the game, more than likely if there is one area that you need some work on, it is your putting. You may be amazing at driving the golf ball a long ways, and you may even hit the green fairly well from a long distance, but if you cannot putt, winning will be very difficult. Much of the skill of golf is actually shown when you are putting on the green, and you can golf like a champ if you know how to putt like a pro. The following are some tips that can help you show off the next time you are putting on the green.
Tip #1 - Visualize - One of the most important things you can do to improve your putting is to visualize the putt. Try to visualize in your mind how the green moves and how you want the ball to move over the green into the hole. Once you get the picture in your mind, it is much easier to make the ball go into the cup for the big finish of your game.
Tip #2 - Practice - Probably the most important tip to putting like a pro is to practice. You can read tips on improving your putt all day long, but if you do not take the time to practice those tips they will never be able to help you. Take some time to practice putting until you feel comfortable and confident with your putting techniques.
Tip #3 - Avoid Using the Hands - Many people make the mistake of using their hands and wrists when they are putting, and while this is great for a very short putt, it will not help you out on the long putts that you are trying to master.

If you are constantly coming up short on your putts, check how you are putting. More than likely you are using your hands and wrists instead of your arms and shoulders for the putt.
Tip #4 - Aim Just Past the Hole - Especially when you are putting uphill, you will want to be sure that you aim just past the hole. This helps you make sure that the ball goes into the cup instead of falling a few inches short.
Remember, most of your golf game is about how you putt, so be sure that you start taking time to work on improving your putt. Start using these tips and you are sure to improve the way you putt, which will help you improve your golf game as a whole. Before you know it all your practice will have you putting like a pro.

Whether you having been playing golf for years or you are relatively new to the game, more than likely if there is one area that you need some work on, it is your putting. You may be amazing at driving the golf ball a long ways, and you may even hit the green fairly well from a long distance, but if you cannot putt, winning will be very difficult. Much of the skill of golf is actually shown when you are putting on the green, and you can golf like a champ if you know how to putt like a pro. The following are some tips that can help you show off the next time you are putting on the green.
Tip #1 - Visualize - One of the most important things you can do to improve your putting is to visualize the putt. Try to visualize in your mind how the green moves and how you want the ball to move over the green into the hole. Once you get the picture in your mind, it is much easier to make the ball go into the cup for the big finish of your game.
Tip #2 - Practice - Probably the most important tip to putting like a pro is to practice. You can read tips on improving your putt all day long, but if you do not take the time to practice those tips they will never be able to help you. Take some time to practice putting until you feel comfortable and confident with your putting techniques.
Tip #3 - Avoid Using the Hands - Many people make the mistake of using their hands and wrists when they are putting, and while this is great for a very short putt, it will not help you out on the long putts that you are trying to master. Instead of using your wrists and hands, be sure that you actually use your arms and shoulders when you are trying to putt.
