Golf course victory is about many factors, but at the end of the day, it is about eighteen greens that you putt to impact on your scorecard.
You can become a better putter through developing a consistent putting stroke. By the way, putting is one of the few shots that do not change significantly based on distance and ball lie. You can practice your putting virtually anywhere: on the course, on a practice putting green, on a practice turf mat, or even on the carpet.
Professional putts look like this – a golfer stills over the ball, and head does not move. If you have problems with keeping still – lean your head against a wall while you take some putting strokes; this is a nice drill for the stillness.
One of the putting drills is the game “golf ball bocce” and you can play it at home. Take out 5-6 golf balls, including a colored ball. Putt the colored ball a distance away from you, and then try to hit the colored ball with the other white balls. This type of drill helps to gauge speed and distance on flat surfaces.
Another good putting drill is played on a practice green. Take 4 golf balls and place them at equal distances around the hole (you can start at three feet away). Putt around the hole from the same distance until you can sink all four balls from the various points surrounding the hole.
As you can see there are plenty of ways to practice your putt, but in any case it is vitally important to do so. As much as you can. Successful putting will add a lot to your future victories on the golf course.
