what is some Putting tips that has improved your putting? any tip would help right now.....

I 3 putted today 11 times........missed 5 (2-4ft putts) for Par and 1 for Birdie....(this has been going on the last several times out) my putting is horrible right now, and honestly I'm so ashamed of it and my confidence is at a all time low....

I know I give between 8-10 strokes a round away once I'm on the dance floor.

any tips, suggestions...pre routine..anything.

you need improvement of your fundamentals.

hows your grip and alignment? is your stroke smooth and providing solid contact?

you need improvement of your fundamentals.

as far as my grip I did change it this season to that of my regular grip (interlock)..and at the beginning it seemed to be working.... I've also changed my stance a bit as well (recently been doing anything that seems to work) been widing my stance (like Kenny Perry) been bringing my feet closer..anything... as far as contact I've been making solid contact but for whatever reason it isn't falling in the cup...alot of it is reading the greens as well....example: it seems to be going this way when really it was going that way type stuff.

Take an extra minute to walk around the cup to read the green from both sides, that can change what your seeing. And use the big muscles to swing the putter a nice pendulum stroke, don't use your arms. and there ya go, you should be only putting about 26 times a round now... ya right

Two classic drills I always go back to when I'm putting poorly:

Ball about five foot from the hole, set up the putter to the ball and put a tee either side of the putter, creating a gate way for the putter to go through in the stroke.

If you are able to do this, turn your putter so you are hitting the ball with the toe end of your putter, I try to hit long and short putts with this method when practising.

These two drills really improve your strike and focus, two key elements to effective and consistent putting.

Cleveland HiBore 15 - V2 Stiff
Ben Hogan Apex FTX, 2 - PW - Dynamic Gold StiffNike SV Tour 52, 58 - Dynamic Golf StiffYes Golf Callie - 33 inchesBall - Srixon Z star X


I find the clock drill really useful for building confidence in those short putts (yes confidence is very important in putting).
Set lots of balls around the hole in a circle (I usually just use three or four and place them again after holing out). Take into account all different breaks, uphill, downhill crosshill etc... I start at about 3 feet from the hole and work back. If you miss one go back to the start.

One thing that really helped my putting was learning to focus on the ball, not the hole. Once I get my alignment set, I take one last look down the line and try to fix the image of the ball going to the hole in my mind's eye. Then, I look down at the ball and make sure my head remains perfectly still. I want to see the putter strike the ball and keep watching the spot where the ball was until after the ball leaves my peripheral vision. This helps me keep the putter on plane and prevents my body from moving during the stroke. Of course, putting is a very individual thing. There are about as many different putting techniques as there golfers so your mileage may vary.

what is some Putting tips that has improved your putting? any tip would help right now.....

1. Go buy Stan Utley's book 'The Art of Putting'.

2. Get yourself a heel-shafted (toe weighted) putter (or pull yours out of the closet). 3. Read the book. 4. Go to the practice green and follow his instructions (take the book with you). 5. Start making more putts....Guaranteed. If you already use the arc-style of putting, fine...but do you use Utley's stroke mechanics? They are simple and repeatable. After that, it's all about the speed.

I read the green from both sides sometimes if I can't read the line right.
2nd) I make sure where I am lined up because sometimes you think your aiming left/right when your really not. Second I make sure for those 2-4 foot putts I don't leave the ball shorrt. I am for the back of the cup so the ball doesn't break off the cup edge.
3rd) Keep a nice swing, never use the wrists putts

Putt with you shoulder and not your hands and concentrate more on distance control.

    • It’s not live on free to air tv in the UK, and hasn’t been since 1995. ( I pay a subscription to Sky for generally good golf coverage). There are limited highlights on the BBC for some golf events, but that’s it. Are other/all PGA events on NBC?  Allowing ticket scalping is a systemic failure across sports and showbiz, which could be legislated against, but in the UK is not in any meaningful way. I don’t know much about the secondary market in the US or anti scalping measures.  Charging more to keep prices down is an interesting concept, in practice no doubt you are right even if It sounds a bit Catch 22  Do you think sports tickets and broadcast rights  should be sold on a purely capitalist basis, or is there an argument to say that some sports might benefit more from wider exposure and affordable access. ( golf in the US is apparently not one of these if tickets sold out at those prices so quickly)  Fans might benefit from cheaper tickets and in the UK at least, TV coverage that reaches a wider audience.

    • Day 65 - 2024-12-04 Helped @NatalieB with her stuff on the force plates, then hit some balls working on the left wrist stuff. Picking up the club.
    • Day 216 (4 Dec 24) - Dink and roll Weds - working on the green side short game covering 5-10 yd chips to low running pitches to about 50 yds (I have accommodating neighbors).  Focused on keeping stance more narrow, eye target about 2” in front of the ball AND not looking up until I see the ball leave.  This drill has really enhanced my confidence in making more consistent ball strikes.
