Is there anything more vexing than playing a great round of golf but not having the ability to putt correctly and end upthus with a bad score? Effective golf putting is a result of having the ability to master distance control and consistency in your tempo and precision. Here are some of the finest golf putting drills and tips I use whilst making an attempt to improve my feel and touch on the putting green.
Short Putts “This putting system is often known as ‘ the pool effect’. Place a second golf ball in front of the ball your intend to putt with approximately half way between it and the hole. Putt your ball as standard and aim at the center of the ball in front with the intention of knocking this ball into the entire. This drill lets you at a smaller target and gives you confidence to knock those short putts directly into the back of the hole without effort and without fear.
Keep Your Shoulders Square “For this drill, you'll need an old golf club shaft to help you. You place the shaft across your chest and then under each armpit. Practice your putting with this in place and this'll help you rock your shoulders up and back down and eliminate the chance of you opening up your chest. This also helps with the ‘pendulum effect’ in the stroke and also keeps the clubface square.
Distance Control “This is one of the best golf putting drills as distance control is essential in order to lose the dreaded ‘ 3 putt’. Line up several golf balls on the putting green and stroke the first one about the distance of the length of your putter. Then attempt to stroke the subsequent putt the length of the putter past the first ball. Go on with this method for each ball trying for each putt to be the same distance past the previous attempt. This also assists in gauging the length of backswing on your putt for a given distance and adds strength to your short game.
Clubface Square “This drill will obviously demonstrate how to enhance your putting game. Place 1 tee into the ground above your putter and 1 tee below getting them as near to your putter as possible. In your ordinary putting stroke, take your club back and then forward thru the 2 tees without touching either of them. This could ensure that your clubface remains square at the point of impact and sets the ball off on i’s intended line. This also eliminates the chance of rotation in the hands during the stroke.
By integrating these helpful golf putting drills into your practice schedule, you'll begin the process of gaining confidence each time you step up to the putting green. With a positive perspective, you will have learned how to enhance your putting game and will see you scores significantly tumble.
