How To Improve Your Putting Practice Golf Drills

They are some tips for getting the most out of the time you
spend on the practice putting green.

Here's how to do it: 1. Use the practice green to guage speed
and work on distance control. Distance control (sometimes called
speed control) should be the focus when practicing putting.

2. Hit your putts at a ball marker, not at a hole, to start
with. Don't immediately try to make putts - simply roll the ball
toward a ball marker you've put down about six feet away. Think
about the stroke and centering the ball on the putter face.

3. Set down distance markers and alternate putting to different
distances. Set ball markers, clubs or some other markers at
10-foot intervals, out to 30 feet. Alternate hitting balls to
the different distances.

4. Hit from one side of the green to the other to practice long
putts. Making a 70-footer is something we're very unlikely to
do, it doesn't make sense to aim at the cup. You'll only be
disappointed when the ball doesn't go in.

5. Practice making putts, not missing them. Putt from no more
than six feet out, and preferably around four feet out. Even the
pros make only about half their 6-footers. If you're practicing
15-footers, you're only hurting your confidence.

6. Putt on a flat part of the practice green. On a practice
green, you want to practing making putts. That means putting
from a short distance - and on a flat part of the green. Short,
flat putts are the ones you have to make to get better.

7. Always end your practice session by making short putts. Don't
walk off the green on a miss. Force yourselve to make five or
six putts in a row to end the session - even if you have to putt
from 6 inches to do it.

Some golf tips: 1) Visualize to stay positive. Confidence plays
a huge role in putting. As you stand over putts on the practice
green, visualize a trough leading from your putter to the cup
and imagine hearing the sound of the ball dropping into the cup.

2) Put down a chalk line to practice keeping your putter
on-line. You can find a chalk line in a hardware store - it's
that string carpenters snap to a surface to leave a chalk
imprint.

3) Practice keeping your putter on line and hitting the sweet
spot in your living room. Use an alignment tool (a ruler, for
instance) and putting aids you can buy to affix to your putter's
head that will help with centering the stroke.

What You Need: Putter, Putting green, Putting aids.
