How To Make More Putts and Shoot Lower Scores

Instructions
Difficulty: Easy
1.
Get yourself a pointer. You can use a yard stick, an old shaft, the shaft of your driver, etc.

2.
Pick a hole on the putting green that is flat for 5 feet around and lay the pointer on the ground parallel to the center of the hole. Grab a handful of balls and start 2 feet from the cup, making sure that the blade of your putter is square to the target line. Using the pointer as a guide, you can easily check your alignment on each putt.

3.
Checking your alignment constantly, make 25 two footers in a row. If you miss before you make 25 in a row, start over at 1!

4.
Once you've made 25 in a row from 2 feet, move the pointer back from the hole and make 25 in a row from 3 feet. Again, check your alignment constantly and if you miss prior to making 25 in a row, start back at 1. This self induced pressure will aid you greatly the next time you have a 3 footer to win a match!

Items needed
  • Your Putter, a few golf balls and a little time
Overall tips
  • Each time you practice your putting, which I hope is often, start the process over at 2 feet and work your way to 5 feet or as far as your practice time will allow. A little practice combined with a little discipline will improve your putting tremendously!
