I am going to do a series of "quick tip" Golf in the Now emails the next few months. Tip #1-To improve your putting stroke, try this: Take 3 balls and drop them 10 feet from the cup. Roll 2 putts your normal way and try to hit it solid and roll it in. Then, for the 3rd one, close your eyes as you strike the ball. Call out where you think the ball will finish based on what you felt at impact. Why this drill helps: Most people look up too quickly on shorter putts to instinctively watch the ball roll toward the cup. Closing your eyes will help you keep your head steady and allow the putter release through the ball before you move. You will likely strike the ball more solidly and feel more stable throughout the stroke.© Golf In The Now, Jim Williams. All rights reserved. |
