Golf Putting Drills To Make You A Better Putter
Although there is discussion about which element is more important, driving the ball or putting the ball, statistically, putting is the most important part of the game. Golf putting drills will help you shoot lower scores. Many players will say that you can hit one bad drive and make the stroke up with a good putt. However, if you hit one bad putt, the stroke is gone and you cannot “make it up.” No matter your handicap, you will shoot lower scores if you can improve your putting.
Putting is the most vital aspect within the game of golf and no professional has ever played a good round of golf putting poorly…ever. There is nothing more frustrating than playing a decent round of golf only to end the day with a lousy score because of the number of missed putts.
Now that you have delegated time to practice your putting, how can you best use your practice time to improve your putting? Since putting is dependent on distance and line you will need to decide which one needs more works. Hint…more than likely it is getting the ball on the correct line. At worst getting the ball to start on the correct line will enable you to make more of the shorter putts that you feel you “should” make. Here is a couple of golf putting drills to make sure that you are on the right line (I know that is a bad pun haha).
Two-Foot Drill
This may sound too easy but it has help many of our students of all skill levels. Yes, even the better players. Drop a mark two feet away from the hole. You will want to find a level putt or a putt that goes slightly uphill and begin to make putts! Everyone can make it form two feet…right? Well, most of the time. No matter your skill level, you want to take away two things from this drill. First, it is an easy putt so you will (should) keep seeing the ball go into the hole. This should boost your confidence. Second, even though the ball is going in the hole, are you holing the putt in the center of the cup? More than likely, it will not. From two feet you can get away with this but take it out to even just four or six feet and the same stroke could produce a miss.
Tee Drill
If you are struggling with the two foot drill, then you should try the tee drill. Take two tees and place one on the outside of your putter or toe of your putter and the other on the inside of the putter also known as the heel of the putter. You will give yourself a little room on each side depending on your skill level. As you take a putting stroke, stop the putter at the tees to evaluate where the face of the putter is pointing. It will directly relate to the direction that you were missing putts using the two foot drill.
