Putting Is The Purest Essence Of Golf

Putting makes up most of what golf is about, and it's crystal clear that it is so.

It doesn't look hard at first, as it seems like all you have to do is shoot that little golf ball in a right-sized hole. However, gaining mastery has threatened to drive the average golfer bat-bleep crazy.

If you want to master your putting skills, read this guide and follow the tips below.

You'll only need one ball if you want to practice putting on your free time. This simulates the feel of a real-life game. This increases the concentration factor, as you have one ball, instead of many to choose from in a bucket filled with them. Don't forget to practice every day as long as it's humanly possible!

Putting isn't all in the wrists. If you are putting the ball, notice how your palms are in front of each other. This prevents one hand from dominating and ensures that both work together for you.

Relax your muscles and let go of any tension in your body when you are preparing to shoot. Loosen up your muscles so they feel flabby and jelly-like. Never tense up your muscles when putting!

Make your back and follow through strokes the same length.

Make the right hand stronger and the left hand weaker to make your putter's face square.

Use your shoulders rather than your wrists when putting.

That left wrist of yours needs to be kept firm!

Don't tense up your knees. Keep them steady.

Maintain a shoulder's width's distance between your heels.

The positioning of your feet is important in curved putts, as they need to be set parallel to the desired angle, and not to the hole.

As you make contact with the ball, you want to accelerate the putter. The grip on your putter has to move towards the hole.

If your putt should miss, it would be preferable to have it miss by going past the hole rather than short of the target. It will be easier to finish it in the second try.

If you cannot leave the house due to bad weather, you can still practice putting at home, using your carpet as a surface.

If you have developed a comfort zone with your chosen putter, stick with it.

The last piece of advice would be to set realistic goals and apply gentle pressure on yourself to achieve them once you putt.
