Aim At The Hole
Too many beginning golfers spend lord knows how many minutes trying to line up their putts only to miss putt after putt after putt. The problem is over analysis and here’s what you can do to correct it. 95% of the time you should aim the golf ball right at the hole and spend your time trying to judge the downhill and uphill slope of the greens and the speed you’ll have to putt the ball with to get it in the hole. Most of the time when weekend golfers are trying to play a sideway slope they end up over compensating for it and miss horribly.
Don’t let that happen to you!
Aim straight for the hole and focus your time and energy on guessing the right speed you’ll need on your swing.
Imagine The Hole Is A One Foot By One Foot Square
Your goal here is to cut down on all your three putt holes by using one putt to get the ball within “tap in” distance. Obviously if you have a chance at the hole in one stroke then drain it but be honest with yourself. Use your one shot to get the ball within the “square” and then tap it in for a respectable two putt hole. Beats a three putt hole any day…
Visualize Yourself Sinking The Putt
Before I take my putt I see myself sinking the putt in my head. I try to trick my mind into thinking that I’ve already sank that putt before. In my head I try to focus on the speed of my swing and the pace the ball will need to fall into the hole. In my mind I’ve already gone over how far back my swing has to go and much of a follow through there will be.
Take A deep Breath Before You Putt
I actually do this before every swing but it really works to relax my swing and to calm me down. In my mind I try to focus on everything in my swing that I’m trying to be cognizant of (you know what I’m talking about) and I take a smooth, confidant swing.
Count up your putting strikes next round and then practice these tips. See if you can reduce your putts by 9 in the next 3 months
