Be A Better Putter In These Three Simple Steps

Putting in Golf

Putting can be one of the most frustrating parts of golf. It seems like it is the simplest part of the game, but yet, it tends to beat even the best of the players.

This has left hundreds of thousands of golfers looking for ways they can be a better putter. Now there are hundreds of putting training aids out there can cost you over hundreds of dollars if you were to go out and try to find what works for you.

Or you can find a golf professional to give you lessons, which usually cost around $75 an hour.

But lets be honest, very few of us have this kind of money. So in this article I am going to tell you these three simple tips that will help you to be a better putter.

Tip Number 1 to Be a Better Putter

Alignment

Proper alignment is critical in putting. Off the tee you can be mis aligned and still hit the middle of the fairway. But in putting you can misaligned by one foot and this alone will guarantee another stroke added to your score card.

Tip Number 2 to Be a Better Putter

Practice Like You Play So You Play Like You Practice

This is one of the best tips out. Very few of us have spent time practicing putting. I mean actually practicing putting. We all have plopped three balls down on the practice green and hit them towards a hole. But does this actually count has practicing?

No, and it is because we don't play like that. We need to simulate the actual pressure we feel on the course and the pressure we put on ourselves.

This drill will help you do that. This drill calls for three tees and three golf balls and putter. You set a tee at the following distances from the hole: 3 feet, 5 feet, and 8 feet.

You putt and make all three balls from 3 feet, then move back to five feet and putt all three and make them. Then move back to eight feet. But you have to make them all consecutively or else you start back at three feet.

This is one of my favorite drills that practices on the three main distances where we need to make more putts, and simulate the pressure we will feel on the golf course.

Practice Like the Pros

Now I don't mean literally spend the amount of time they spend practicing, but how they practice. That is they spend 80% of their time practicing on putting and the short game. and the other 20% on the long game, 100 yards and out.

If you can follow these three tips they will help you get better at putting and lower your golf scores.
