How to inprove my putting?

Question

I hate golf lessons, i am not a begginer, I am awsome at chipping and half a really strong long game. Play in amature tournaments. any drills any one woul suggest.

Answer 1

Make those long putts drop in 2. Your goal isn't the hole itself, but a circle 3 to 5 feet near the hole where the next shot will be in.

So my starting drill before a round is to make an arc of 5 balls about 3 feet from the hole. I keep going til I hit 5 of 5 in. Then move the arc out to 5 feet.

Just like in Ten Pin Bowling, if you are aiming at a target 15 to 35 yards away, then you need to aim at something closer first.

What point about 2 yards away do you have to pass over to make tha long putt? That is your target.

Allow for any slope.

Answer 2

it sounds like you know what you are doing, so i imagine your main problem is reading greens.

what i usually do is study greens. I first try to predict how the green will break. then, i throw a handful of balls in different directions with different speeds towards the hole to see if my guess was correct.  

one drill i like to do is because I used to play pool. if i miss the shot, i use the next ball to try and knock the previous ball into the hole. the aim required is much more precise than just at the hole.

Answer 3

Lay a club on the ground and set the ball 2 inches beside it.

Align the club to the hole and practice making a fluid stoke that is equal in distance from the backstroke to the follow through and hold your finish. Try this on the putting green until you have found the line then hone your speed. Once you have mastered the putt start draining them. With the help of the perfect alignment and your knowledge of the speed making the putt will be fairly easy you should make about 3 out of 5.

Do this on many putts on the green with different breaks and you will become a master as I have found myself to be just because if this technique trust me make it mandatory.

when you go to the putting green next practice putting with 3 balls with your eyes closed this will help you improve your feel and will make yo putt in a more pendulum motion.......................dont look at where the ball has finished until you have it all 3.this should help you good luck

Answer 7

You've got to feel it. Really get inside yourself and stare at the cup while taking several practice strokes. This works great for distance and feel, and accuracy. Putt off your left instep with your head over the ball. This works great for me. I will usually sink 3 or 4 15 to 20 foot puts per round. And the others are left usually for a tap in. Good luck.
