Nothing is more critical to your score than putting. And really, no other shot in golf is easier to play physically. Here are four golf putting tips for all golfers.
1) Line up your golf ball when you putt. This is one of the easiest and best ways to improve your putting from both long and short range. A line made with a Sharpie works better than using the logo or other less apparent marking. Lining up your golf ball to putt will take the guesswork out of the rest of the game.
2) Focus on speed. In putting, it is often said speed is king. Proper speed leaves a tap in even if the line is off a bit. A tap in should be your goal for any putt outside of 15 feet. Focus on the speed until you are 100% confident when you stroke the putt. But speed is even more important on short putts when the ball is expected to go in the hole.
3) Strive for stress free putting. When you are chipping, try to put your ball below the hole so you have an uphill and relatively straight putt. Same with lag putting, which I consider to be anything outside 15 feet.
4) Always have a positive attitude. Don't stand over the ball thinking of ways to miss a putt. Make the putt in your mind before you ever address the ball.
Even though these golf putting tips are for all golfers, they will only help the ones who use them. Better putting is about making your life easier on the greens. Often that comes down to the choices you make.
