Improve Your Putting - Lower Your Golf Score
Like to cause a long hitter who slams a 300 yard drive furious? Here's how you do it. He hits driver and a wedge and is on the green on regulation. Then step up and drive the ball a hundred yards shorter. Next your second shot lands short. Then you chip up and you are on in three. He's away and misses his putt and taps in for his par. Then you sink your 12 foot putt for your par. The big driver is not going to be happy. Do this all day long and he will call you lucky and shake his head. It is not fortune though. It's putting and its the great equalizer.
A few years ago I saw an interview with a PGA touring pro. I don't remember who it was, but I sure do remember what he had to say, "from tee to green everybody is about equal on the tour. It's really just a putting tournament." Here is a professional telling us that the difference on the highest level tour on the globe is putting. It is the difference that makes a difference.
If you review your last round, you probably had somewhere around 30-36 putts. If you had more than that, run, don't walk, to the practice green and work until you're confident in your putting stroke. Use putting drills to improve your stroke so it is very consistent. That puts you to about the half way point.
Making putts on the practice green is like hitting home runs in batting practice. They feel wonderful, but they don't count. In addition, there is no stress and that's more significant than many people realize. Putting is a least 50% psychological. In certain cases, when a golfer get the yips, it really is much worse. A player with the yips is so out of sync that he fully believes he's likely to fail at the putt. The reverse extreme is when you have the reliance that your putting stroke is flawless and you are going to sink every putt.
Sinking putts can be viewed in two ways. 1st, you have to make every one of the short easy putts. 2nd, you should keep yourself away from bad putting situations. What's a bad situation? Think of a sixty foot uphill twin breaking putt against the grain of the green. Nearly all golfers would be better off using a wedge for that putt. Improving your pitching and chipping will lessen those awful situations. When's the last time you spent a good amount of time practicing chipping and pitching to stay out of bad situations?
Improve Your Putting
Here's a quick and dirty routine for practice. Use one-half of the available time and work at putting and reading greens. Vary the angle and distance to the practice holes often and move from hole to hole. Work on putting the golf ball where you aim. Even if you misread a putt, make sure the ball goes at your selected target. If you are pushing or pulling, set 2 balls side-by-side and strike both at the same time to square the putter head. If both go the identical distance, you're striking the ball squarley. If they don't adjust until they do.
The 2nd part of the time available ought to be spent chipping and pitching. Select one club for each and stay with it until you are consistent every chip or pitch. Good pitching and chipping will reduce problem putts and get you closer to the hole.
Once you've improved your chipping, pitching and putting, then go to the driving range and begin practicing the other 40% of the sport. At just about all levels, shots from within 100 yards account for 60% of the total golf score. Focusing on the 60% of your score first is just plain smart.
