How to hole almost every putt. Does that sound too good to be true? Well, it’s not and here’s why…

When you watch the great putters they either hole their putts or the ball goes damn close to going in the hole and normally the ball finishes close enough to the hole for an easy tap-in.

That’s why great putters average under 30 putts per round.

And the great thing is that now you can replicate what they did to become a great putter.

You see, Jeff Richmond has discovered 13 things all great putters do and he’s put together a step-by-step putting improvement program to help you implement all 13 things into your putting game so you too can hole almost every putt.

When you do this you’ll score much lower, enjoy playing golf more and get more respect from your playing patners. So if you want that, go here for more information about this new putting improvement program:

Two things can cause you to miss a putt. One is not having your putterface square to the path at impact. The other is cutting across the ball while stroking. Both errors are common mistakes among golfers. The Laser Putting Drill corrects those mistakes.

Laser Putting Drill

Snapping a chalk line on the green helps when practicing putting. But you can’t do that in the house. Instead, use a carpenter’s laser. Start by drawing a stripe around the middle of your ball. Then set the laser down behind the ball so it shoots a line down the carpet.

Next, place the ball on the line. Makes sure the stripe lines up with the laser line. Now putt. Practice rolling the ball so the stripe doesn’t wobble as it goes down the line. If it does, it means your putterface wasn’t square to the line at impact or you cut across the ball. Keep practicing until the line no longer wobbles.

The Laser Drill helps correct two common putting errors. Work on the drill as often as you can. Eliminating the errors takes your putting to a new level.

Decelerating your putter at impact is a major flaw. But not every golfer has this flaw. Some have another major flaw: Taking a short backswing and then gunning the putter through the stroke. Gunning it throws your rhythm off and inhibits consistency. The
drill below rids you of this flaw.

Coin On The Putter Drill

Set down a metal yardstick on a carpet in your house. Then place a ball in the center. Put stickers on the yardstick the same distance in front of the ball as behind it. Now place a penny on the back of your putterface. Hit some putts.

When you make your putts, swing the putterhead the same distance in front of the ball as behind it. Use your stickers as a guide. Accelerate too much and you jar the penny loose from the back of the putter. Your goal is to roll the ball the same distance every time.

Work on this drill as often as you can. It’ll stop you from gunning your putter through the stroke, improve rhythm and consistency, and help you sink more putts.

Beginners Guide to Putting

As you can imagine, one of the most important things that you can do to improve your golf game is improve your putting skills. While it may seem impossible, simply practicing and working to improve a few minor things will greatly improve your skills. Once you have learned what you need to do, practice the skills until you have them mastered. Remember, a good putting skill will ultimately translate into a much improved long shot as well so taking the time to practice your putting is very important.

You are of course going to need to practice to improve, but the exact skills that you need to practice tend to vary from player to player. As a general rule of thumb, there are three things that you need to specifically focus on in order to get the best golf game possible. The first skill is ensuring that your swing is proper so that you will contact the ball exactly in the middle of the club head. If you are not dead on the center you will never be able to master putting. You simply cannot hit the ball from the side of the club head and expect it to go straight. No matter how long you practice, this is not possible and will result in plenty of frustration over what you are doing wrong.

Once you have worked to improve hitting the ball from the very center of the club head you need to move onto tonsuring that you always hit the ball in a straight line to the target. This means if the ball needs to go 2 feet away from you towards the lake, you would not want to aim the ball towards the tree beside it. You may think this sounds a bit strange, but many people do not squarely approach the ball to the target. They then stand around and wonder why they are missing their shot. Even if you are off by just a fraction, this can seriously alter your putting skills because the ball is not going to go where you want it to go.

You will likely need to practice this point a lot, most people do not realize when they are just slightly off center from the target. Yet even the slightest difference away from the target will result in a missed shot and an increased handicap. Work on this by ensuring that you take plenty of time to practice. This is even a skill that you could practice in your office, or bedroom at home using a small home putting kit. However, going to the driving range is not going to help you here so avoid them if possible while you are working on this skill.

Your last skill that you need to work on to improve your putting skills is working to ensure that you are accelerating the club head when you are actually coming into contact with the ball. Many players make the mistake of slowing the club down right before they actually hit the ball. This will cause you to lose the momentum that you need in order for the ball to make it to your target. Working to make a conscious effort not to slow the club down will usually be sufficient in order to improve this skill and give you some improved results.
