Golf Putting Practise Exercises

No matter what type of putting method you use, at some time or other during your golfing life, confidence on the greens evaporates. It often happens when faced with short puts, particularly down hill left to right puts. No matter what you try, you seem to miss more puts than you hole out.

When confidence on the green is low, a probable cause is through de-accelerating at impact, loosing that firmness of stroke, resulting with the putter face not returning square at impact. It can also be through anxiety by looking up too soon to see if the ball has dropped in to the hole.

Many golfers will simply go out and buy themselves a new putter in the hope that a change of model will result in a quick cure. Sometimes it can. But a less expensive way is to have a good back up putting practise golf exercise to help overcome the problem. One that provides a long lasting cure and restores confidence through a little time spent on the practise putting green, rather than by spending a lot of money on the latest putter design.

I suggest you first start your golf putting practise with 6 balls placed in a line about 3' or 1m Golf putting practise - 3 ft - 1m from the hole away from the hole. Strike the first ball and if it goes in to the hole continue along the line until all balls are holed out without missing a put. If one is missed you must replace all the balls already holed, and start again from the beginning until you can go along the line without missing a put.

After holing out the first 2 or 3 balls along the line you will feel quite calm. But in the quest to finishing off the row in one go without missing a put, tension will increase with each ball remaining. Once you have succeeded in completing the task then do exactly the same again but from Golf putting practise - 6 ft - 2m from the hole further away. Try next from 6' or 2m away and maybe with 10 balls in a line. The further away the balls are from the hole the more difficult it becomes to complete the exercise. But that is the whole object of this type of practise, those shorter put will now seem so much easier to hole out than before. Then you will be eagerly awaiting the next medal competition to try out your new found confidence in holing those short puts.
