How Golf Instruction, Putting Lessons And Golf Video Training Revamp Your Game

By Sherman Howard


A large number of pro golfers insist that putting is the most important part of your golf game. More important than your golfing swing. How you practice can also affect your game. Getting golf putting instruction goes a long way to improve your game. Here are some tips for beginners or even pros. Since putting skills account for 50% of your game, so, let's focus on putting.

Putting Lessons First practice putting exercises by making use of putting drills in order improve your putting confidence. Putting drills will help you focus you on routines that eventually becomes ingrained into your brain.

'Drive for show putt for dough' as the popular adage implies. The main focus is to see the line you want the golf ball to follow in your minds' eye figured out and not to move your head while you putt. When standing over your putt with your eye on the ball and form the mental image of the path to the hole. Visualize - think distance not speed.

Some pros even teach putting with your eyes closed to develop feel and consistency. Try a drill of hitting a number of 10-foot putts with your eyes closed. This will help focus on the feel and off the mechanics of the stroke.

Don't lift your head to see where it wants to go and what line it's on. Concentrate on the spot where the ball was after impact rather than following the ball with your eyes. When you're not looking and pulling your body up you'll make more putts. After you hear the ball rattle around in the cup, then you can lift your head.

Practice Your Aproach Address

A minor yet important part of golfing instruction is your stance. Spend some time during your practice session making sure you have a solid putting stance. Don't just go out there and start putting, but take time to positions yourself.

Maintain a straight back allowing your hands to swing under your shoulders is the simplest of positions to employ.

Note the position of your hands and if your hands are outside your shoulders (that is, farther from your body), it will take on a different stance resulting in an inside-square-inside stroke. A normal stance about the width of your hips is the stance you should take.

Get A Grip

Always keep a check on your grip. It's important that the consistency of your shot depend on using the same grip each and every time. Like the address position, this is an important part of putting that often gets overlooked and cause inconsistent results.

Your club works similar to a pendulum motion. Your grip should not be too tight, and your arms should be relaxed. A smooth one-piece action should be your stroke. Keeping your wrists stiff, your arms move backwards creating your shoulders to work like a pendulum. Dropping your left shoulder gets the motion started.

Be sure that when you are closing your fingers you don't force the club into some angle of lie, of loft, other than its designed one. Experiment if you must by trying a lighter version of your normal grip.

Go With The Short Putts
