How to Develop a Good Putting Stroke

From Mel Sole
Ritson-Sole Golf Schools

Putts between 4 and 6 feet are ones that we expect to make most of the time. But research tells us that touring pros make only about 50-percent of their 6-foot putts, so the average golfer should not get too frustrated when their percentage is lower. However, with intelligent practice, we can do something to increase our success rate on this length of putt.
How to Practice
Take 10 balls and line up a straight putt of about 4 feet as I am here in picture No. 1:






It is important to practice a straight putt, because then you need only focus on the stroke and not on the break. Obviously, if you miss a straight putt you will know that you made a bad stroke; if you miss a breaking putt, you might have made a good stroke but just had the wrong speed. So it's important to pick a straight putt for this drill.
Now, start putting these putts with two objectives:





1. Make sure the putter head is going straight back as in picture No.


2 ...


... and straight through as in picture No. 3.


2. Make sure your putter face is square to your line at all times (also noted in picture No. 3). This is the most common fault with poor putters and takes the most work and concentration, but will pay off huge if you have the determination to get it right.
Set yourself a goal for the number of putts that you can hole in a row. Gradually increase this goal until you can get up to 50. Remember, if you miss one you have to start at one again!
This teaches you how to putt under pressure, because as you reach 45, 46, 47, 48 - you don't want to start at one again - so you must make a good stroke.
The secondary benefit of this practice method is to your subconscious. As you hole putt after putt at this distance, your confidence escalates and you have less and less fear of these putts.
If you don't have time to go to the course, remember - you can practice this at home on the carpet. This drill is a great way to work on your putting stroke.

"Hit and Hold" to Become a Better Putter

After you have struck your putt "hold" the follow through (as in the photos to the left) for at least six seconds to give you time to check the following factors:
• 1. Is your body still in its original address position?• 2. Is the putter head path still on line to the target?• 3. Is the putter face still square to your target?

How to Perfect Your Golf Swing and Golf Like a Pro

Consistent attention to stance, angle, and balance will effect the perfect golf swing, with a little practice. Well actually, the perfect golf swing will take a lot of practice. But when the time comes to play in a competitive tournament, friendly match, or business foursome, the perfect golf swing will be the perfect business and leisure asset.

Accuracy is the buzzword when working on your perfect golf swing, since the swing in and of itself is not the end result. The flight of the ball to the green or thereabouts should stem from the development of the perfect golf swing. A perfect golf swing should depend on physical conditioning or height, or a special club or distance to the tee.
