Improving Your Putting

One of the biggest features of playing a good game of golf is becoming good at putting after all, you are unlikely to hit as low a score as you are hoping to hit if you cannot get the ball from the green to the hole, but despite its obvious importance, putting is also one of the things that people tend to spend the least amount of time focused on. Hitting a drive that goes three hundred yards is certainly more sensational than being able to consistently sink a thirty foot putt, but sinking these putts accurately will be one of the biggest pieces of piecing together your golf game. 
When you watch golf on television, you will see the golfers examining the green before they make a putt, and while many who go out on the golf course for fun try to do the same thing, they still end up aiming for the hole itself when they actually putt the ball; after you have examined the green and determined the break, forget about the hole completely, and simply aim for the spot you have determined you need to aim for!

A lot of golfers also make the mistake of focusing on the ball, instead of focusing on their swing; practice swinging your putter on a perfect pendulum both with and without a ball, and you will always be able to hit the ball in the direction you want it to go. 


And finally, you will want to make sure that you are completely relaxed; a tense golfer is a poor golfer, and since one of the main reasons you are getting out on the golf course on the weekend is in order to relax, it should be no problem at all for you to accomplish this simple, important step!
By making an effort to follow these tips, you will be able to start seeing improvement in your short game, and this will make those “relaxing” mornings on the golf course a lot more relaxing, and a lot more fun!
