Do feel like this golfer? Just want to break that dang putter into pieces? Putting is considered very boring for most golfers. Golf tips to avoid 3 putts on the other hand should be listened to like “EF Hutton”. If you want to shoot lower golf scores, these golf putting tips will help you get there! All you’ve got to do is apply them the very next time you go out and play.
According to short game guru Dave Pelz, high handicappers are not good at the long (lag) putts. Detailed analysis shows poor lag putting is the root cause of bad putting. You may have other problems, too, but getting your lag-putting skills in shape is the best place to start. Pelz also says that your putts are too long. You must chip and pitch the ball closer to the hole.
Tip #1 Working on short game will quickly improve your bad putting.
Tip #2 Practice 50 foot putts for 30 minutes once per week. Try to get them in a 5 foot circle or less. This will ensure you will make your second putt.
Tip #3 Whatever your “make” range is, practice that distance for at least 20 minutes once per week. This could be the 5-6 foot circle you were trying to get your 50 foot lag putts in.
Tip #4 Hold head still. This is a big one. You can rotate it to the side to watch putt, but not until after you stroke the ball. Don’t lift your head up, nor do I want you to move it side-to-side. Just rotate it after the stroke.
If you need further help with your putting, Scott Meyers has put together a very comprehensive putting ebook that I’m confident will shave many strokes off your golf score.
