12 Step For Putting Golf Tips

It's a fact that the most often used golf club in every bag, every round, is the putter. It follows that no other club in the bag is responsible for more wasted shots.

A lot of problems get blamed on the putter itself, but equipment is not the problem. Good putting comes from a good attitude and you can't buy that in the pro shop.

A missed short putt is one of the only bad shots in golf that you cannot recover from. All you can do is add one to the score and tap the ball in.

On the other hand, you can still save par from the trees off the tee or the bunker by the green. You can still make the 10 footer you may have after the worst long putt you can possibly hit.

So it makes perfect sense that if you want to lower your scores you should start with your short range putting. I hope some of these putting tips and lessons will help you putt better from close in.

  1. Always line up the ball. At the very least, use the brand name to line up with. The best way, though, is to use a Sharpie and make a line that is straight and easy to see. Would you rather shoot a good score with an ugly ball or an ugly score with a pretty ball?
  2. NEVER practice on bad greens. Does it really help you to hit putts on a slow bumpy green? NO! The best you can hope for is to do no damage. Don't waste your time and endanger your putting confidence putting on bad greens.
  3. Play more break on fast greens. The ball rolls at slower speeds to go the same distance, so logically it will break more than the same putt if the overall speed of the green were slower. The faster the putting surface is, the more effect the slope will have.
  4. Play less break on slow greens. This putting tip is just an extension of the previous one. The speed of the greens will always have as much to do with the break than the slope does. Take this into account when you are reading the green.
  5. Play more break on downhill putts and less on uphill putts. Another extension of putting lessons 3 and 4. All other things being equal, a downhill putt will break more than an uphill putt of the same length and slope.
  6. Speed is king. Putting is all about speed. If you are going to hit a bad putt, you are much better off getting the speed right than the line. A putt that is slightly off line still has a chance if the line is only slightly off but the speed is right. Even if it is a foot offline you will still have a tap in. A putt left short will never go in and if it is hit too hard it has to go dead center or it will lip out.
  7. Make your short putts easier. To minimize three putt greens, and to make your round less stressful, you should try to lag your long putts to the easiest place from which to make your second putt. A relatively flat uphill five footer is a lot easier to make than hard breaking downhill three footer. On long putts its all about where you putt from next, not making it.
  8. Maintain your stroke speed through impact. Many putts are missed because of "deceleration" of the putter head through the impact area. This has lead many well meaning golf teachers to suggest that you should "accelerate through the ball". This advice has wreaked havoc with the strokes of many amatuers. A better way to do it is to take the putter back at the same speed you need on the through stroke, and then restablish and maintain that speed on the forward stroke on through the ball. The speed of the putter head at impact should be established well before you actually hit the ball rather than trying to acclelerate to that speed at the precise moment of impact.
  9. Make at least one putt per hole. As simple as this putting tip is to do, most amateurs just don't do it. Instead, they pick up the ball when it is still a foot or two away. As a result, they miss almost every putt they hit during the round. Do yourself a favor and putt those "gimme" putts. Even making a one foot putt can help build your confidence. You need to see as many putts drop as possible.
  10. Always be positive. Putting is mostly a mental game, and short putting is TOTALLY DIFFERENT from any other golf shot. It is a near certainty that any putt you think you will miss will not go in.
  11. Be commited to your choices. If you are going to make your putts, you must be 100% committed to the line and speed you have chosen. There is no room for doubt. In the end, all you can do is hit the ball on the line you pick and at the speed you want. If you do that and the putt doesn't go in, it's not your fault. It's just golf.
  12. Get Target Putting. There really is an easy way to improve your putting. It's not golf, its a target game. Learn to play it like one and it will force you to putt better.

How To Survive Playing Golf For living

Most golfers play the vast majority of their rounds on the same course. Others will have just a few courses they rotate over the playing season. These golfers develop a home field advantage on the courses they play.


But sometimes, a golfer may venture out to a totally new place, one they have never seen. Greens they have never putted on. The advantage of local knowledge is lost. Often times the experience is totally ruined by poor putting.


When you are faced with a strange new set of greens, you should expect a struggle reading them. Think about your home course and some of the breaks you know you have to play but can't see.

If you are playing a new course for the first time, the object of putting is to not let it ruin your score and your enjoyment of the new golf course.

On the practice green while you are warming up, focus on controlling the distance of 20 footers. Try to get a feel for the uphill and downhill effects on the speed.


Once on the course, you should overplay any break you see on longer putts. The speed should see the ball dying at the hole. Be very conservative and do your best to leave a tap in second putt.


Don't forget to watch your playing partners and their putts. You can learn a lot from seeing a putt on the other side of the hole.


And lastly, if you are not in a tournament and one of the players in your group plays the course a lot, ask for a little help. Your out there to have fun, not torture yourself by missing short putts because of breaks you can't see.


Enjoy the day at your new playground. Don't ruin it by getting overly aggressive with your putting.
