Make More Putts - Lower Your Score

Published in Golf Putting Instruction

If you’re looking to lower your golf score, you need to make more putts.  Plain and simple!  For most amateurs, putting is nearly half your score.  With 50% of your score involving putting, it makes total sense to practice your putting doesn’t it? This element of practice does not take more than 10-15 minutes at a time, so you should definitely incorporate it into your golf improvement plan.

Improve Your Putting Stroke

The main issue with putting is your stroke.  That is the overall path, tempo and speed of your stroke!  This will determine your ability to make more short putts, and lag your long putts as close as you can.

Improve your putting stroke and your scores will plummet! Working specifically on tempo during one practice session, then on path during another session, then speed on yet another session will quickly improve your putting.

Incorporate Putting Drills

One very effective method of improving your putting is by incorporating golf putting drills to your regiment. There are many short putt drills, tempo drills, speed drills and even lag putting drills you can do to get better at every length putt you’ll be faced with during a round of golf.

Putting drills engrain a sense of muscle-memory to your putts.  Do them just a few times and you’ll be able to bring it to the course!

Golf Putting DVD

One choice you have is to purchase a golf putting dvd to improve your putting.  This makes it convenient, easy and a no-brainer choice.  In the comfort of your own home you can ingrain golf putting to your game.  A good putting dvd will have tips, drills and practice routines that will quickly improve your putting.   

DVDs are now becoming so inexpensive it makes for a better option for golfers who are not close to a teaching facility or can’t afford a putting lesson that can cost up to $100.  Many golf dvds range between $25-$50, so you can see it is much less than only ONE lesson. 

You can play your dvd over and over again.  Especially when your putting goes south.  It’s a great resource to go back to instead of an expensive putting lesson.
