Acquiring The Best Putt

By Chandra Kinsler


With regards to putting, a lot of people think practice makes perfect. If this were real, we would see many more prefect putters on the golf course. The real secret here is that Perfect Practice Makes Perfect!

If you're not practicing the perfect placing method every time you practice, you will never get the putting game that you're aiming for and your whole golf game will be affected.

You have to exercise the best putting tactics again and again till great putts become 2nd nature.

It does not matter your size, age, strength, or perhaps how long you've been playing golf . If you appropriately follow these few simple putting techniques and fundamentals, you too will probably be putting like a professional and lowering your golf score in no time.

Putting Trick 1: Learn to Read the Greens

Your ability to properly read the greens on a golf course could possibly be the difference between an excellent game of golf and a really terrible game of golf .

Because each green you play on will be different, you need to be able to distinguish the distinctions and know exactly how to deal with them.

The first thing you would like to discover is the condition of the grass. If the greens are wet from the morning dew or the weather, your ball will roll slower than normal.

When the greens are dry, your ball will roll much faster. When the grass is short, your ball will roll quicker. Be ready to alter your strokes accordingly.

Next, walk around the green so you can view it from every possible angle. Get down low to get a better idea of which way the greens break.

Now get a little bit behind your ball and visually draw a straight line from your ball to the hole. If the ball is near to the hole, shoot for a spot only a little past the hole to maintain your ball moving faster so it doesn't get diverted by a tilt in the greens .

If your ball is quite a ways away from the hole , locate a marker between your ball and the hole (a blade of grass works) which you can use to aim your ball at. Hit directly to that marker but with enough force to hit the hole .

If your putting line was straight and you strike the ball at the appropriate speed , you'll have good results.
