Top 10 Tips to Quickly Improve Your Putting!!

1. Keep your head still during the stroke (Tip #1) A steady head anchors your putting stroke, promoting consistency and accuracy. Any head movement shifts your eyes and changes your perception of the target line.

2. Use a consistent pre-shot routine (Tip #3) A repeatable routine builds confidence and reduces anxiety, leading to more reliable performance under pressure.

3. Accelerate through impact (Tip #7) Many golfers decelerate through impact, leading to inconsistent distance control. Focus on making your follow-through slightly longer than your backswing.

4. Use a pendulum motion (Tip #8) Think of your putting stroke as a pendulum with your shoulders as the fulcrum. This promotes smooth, consistent motion and eliminates wrist action.

5. Keep your grip pressure light (Tip #12) A light grip (about 4 out of 10) allows for a smoother stroke and better distance control, while a death grip restricts natural motion.

6. Focus on distance control, not just direction (Tip #20) Good lag putting can significantly reduce three-putts. Distance control is often more important than perfect line on longer putts.

7. Practice from various distances (Tip #9) Varying your practice routine to include short, medium, and long putts helps develop feel and distance control for all situations.

8. Read the green from multiple angles (Tip #10) View putts from behind the ball, from the side, and from behind the hole to get a comprehensive understanding of the break.

9. Keep your lower body still (Tip #6) A stable lower body creates a foundation for a more consistent putting stroke. Your legs and hips should remain quiet throughout.

10. Visualize the ball going into the hole (Tip #13) Mental visualization boosts confidence and helps your body execute the stroke more effectively. See the perfect roll before you putt.

These fundamentals address both the physical mechanics and mental approach to putting, and can produce noticeable improvements with focused practice.
