5 Keys to Better Putting

photo credit: eMaringolo   Unlike the golf swing itself, putting is an individual thing.  Follow these keys and watch your putting improve:

1)  Keep Eyes Directly Over the Ball > doing so offers the best line of sight to the target.  2)  Play the Ball Forward in Your Stance > doing so assures that the face of the putter meets the ball on a slight upstroke which promotes a smooth roll.  3)  Keep Wrist Action to a Minimum > you should feel that your stroke is being controlled primarily by your arms and shoulders.  4)  Accelerate Smoothly > make your backswing long enough to promote a good follow-through.  5)  Keep Your Head Still > resist the temptation to look up at the ball until well after striking it.
