Improve Your Putting

Updated: Feb 14



As a junior golfer, improving your game can be a challenging and rewarding experience. One aspect of the game that can have a big impact on your score is putting. Here are some tips on how you can improve your putting game.

  1. Grip: The grip is the first and most important aspect of putting. It should be comfortable and allow you to make a smooth, controlled stroke. Experiment with different grip styles until you find one that works best for you.

  2. Stance: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and slightly open to the target. This will give you stability and allow you to make a more consistent stroke.

  3. Aim: Take the time to line up your putt properly. Look at the target and the slope of the green to determine the correct aim. Remember, the ball should roll towards the target, not fly.

  4. Stroke: The stroke should be smooth and controlled, with a consistent tempo and pace. Focus on making a pendulum-like motion with your arms and shoulders. Avoid making any sudden or jerky movements.

  5. Practice: Putting is a skill that can be improved with practice. Spend time on the practice green, working on different types of putts, such as straight, breaking, and uphill. Keep track of your progress and use it to motivate you to continue practicing.

  6. Visualization: Visualization can be a powerful tool in improving your putting game. Close your eyes and imagine making a successful putt, focusing on the feel of the stroke, the sound of the ball hitting the cup, and the celebration that follows.

  7. Mental preparation: Mental preparation is key to putting well. Stay focused, remain confident, and stay positive, even when things don’t go your way. Believe in your ability and trust in your preparation.

In conclusion, improving your putting game takes time, patience, and practice. By following these tips and staying committed to your improvement, you can become a better putter and lower your scores on the course. Remember, golf is a game of enjoyment, so have fun and enjoy the journey!
