Home \| Fitness & Sports 5 Steps To Energize Your Putting By: Greg Beartoes There are some keys to success when you are on the putting green, and we are going to go over those. When out on the course playing golf and you want to make more putts, you must keep your putting system and your routine as simple as possible. If you ever watch what the pro's do on TV when they are putting, you should notice that putting is the part of the game that is totally a personal thing. This is really the way that it should be. There are some basics in putting that will help you, for example having your eyes directly over the ball, but after that there is really not a right way that you have to setup or stand over the ball. Look at how Sam Snead used to putt, with the side saddle style. One thing that you don't want to do is to have a bunch of mechanical thoughts running through your head when you are about to putt. You really just want to think of the pace you want the ball to roll at and how far to the right or left side of the hole the ball should start. You want to think of it this way; the object is to see how close you can come to the hole each time. One of the nice things about this is that, if the ball goes in, it is a bonus. If you have watched the sport over the years, you know that there have been very successful putters, with very radical styles. These facts are telling you that it is OK to be yourself and do what is comfortable for you. Want to be a better putter? These putting tips will help you do that. 1.) You need to be relaxed and comfortable before you putt. If your body is tense and your arms are as stiff as boards and don't forget all the other tensing up things that are done prior to hitting the ball, your success rate is not going to be very good. Stay relaxed 2.) If you want to make more putts, you need to strike the ball in the middle of the putter face. You can usually hear and feel a solidly struck putt. This should be your #1 goal, to hit the ball in the middle of the putter face. By the way, a lot of putts miss because they were not hit in the middle of the clubface. Not because you picked the wrong line or speed. 3.) Try not to change your putting stroke to often, just try to hit the ball solidly each time. 4.) A main key to making more putts is your tempo. Your back and through motion. It is a main ingredient to successful putting. Your's may be fast, or slow or maybe somewhere in between. Just try to be as consistent as possible. 5.) You must stay down and thru the putt. Don't get anxious and want to see what the ball is doing. You don't need to. You must not PEEK. Have you ever noticed that when you look up too early, you usually watch the ball miss the hole. I know that is what happens when I look up or peek. Another reason that a lot of putts miss the cups is because you got anxious and you were quick at picking your head up. This will also cause you not to hit the ball squarely in the center of the putter face. Don't forget, this is a very natural occurrence to want to see where the ball is going before it's gone. Everybody has this problem even the pros. Try this, count to one after you strike the ball in order for you to remain down and through the putt. Watch the pro's when it comes to keeping your head down. Most of them will have a 5ft. putt and they won't even see the ball going in the hole. If you want to check this, just keep an eye on the bill of their hat. Knowing this fact should tell you what you need to do to improve your putting. If the head stays down a little longer the rest of the body will follow and stay down longer through the putt, which is what we want. Follow the steps above and your putting is going to improve. It worked for me and others. Remember the most important step is that all you are trying to do is to see how close you can get the ball to the hole.
