Putting For Beginners – Simple Tricks, Big Difference


The Dime Trick:

Problem: Novice golfers have trouble making short putts, even if they are straight. The reason is because new golfers lift their head after making contact with the golf ball. This throws off your swing and can cause the golf ball to slide off the path you are looking for.

Solution: Take a dime a put it underneath your golf ball when you practice your putts. As you swing through the ball focus on the dime. This will keep your head in the right position and make sure that you complete your putting stroke properly.

Imagine a Bulls-Eye:

If you are the type of golfer that leave putts short or has trouble stroking the ball clean with your putter, try pretending there is a bulls-eye behind the cup. Not only will this give you a target to align your golf club to while you finish your putt, it will also make you hit through the cup.

Remember: The center of the bulls-eye and your focus should be about 6″ past the cup. This will ensure that you have enough distance with your golf stroke to get it there.

Gain Feel, Putt Blind:

If you are having trouble feeling how hard you are putting the golf ball, try closing your eyes while you practice. Taking away your vision helps golfers to focus on the way the golf ball feels as it strikes the putter. Blind putting helps a golfer develop a sense of weight control and proper golf ball striking.

Warning: While this is a great trick during practice, it is not advisable to try while on the golf course.

The Aim Line:

It is great to be able to line up your putt on the golf course, but most golfers stop looking at it when they go to swing. They turn their attention back to the hole and their shoulders go as well. This means no matter how much effort these golfers put into their set up they get the same result.

The Trick: Decide on a line that you think the golf ball should take. Set up naturally and then go back to that line. Focus on the spot you aim line as it passes the hole. This will help to keep the rest of your body in the right position as you make your golf shot.
