How To Become A Better Putter Quickly And Easily

Learning how to be a good putter can be tough and confusing. Putting is a game in and of itself and there are many elements to it including reading greens, putting mechanics and the mental game as much of putting is mental. The first step is to decide on a mechanical approach.

There are many different mechanical approaches you can use, just watch some of the professionals on television and you will see that some of them like to use long putters, others use unique grips like the ‘claw’ putting style and many simply use the standard approach. The best putting style is the one you feel most confident with so try different ones and stick with a single approach you like.

However, you will notice that the best players in the world like Tiger Woods have not changed their putting style much over the years. This is because putting is primarily a mental game and you need to work more on maintaining and growing your confidence levels if you really want to become a consistently great putter and never risk getting the putting yips.

The best cure for the putting yips is to rebuild your putting confidence and believe that you are a great putter no matter how poorly you hit the last putt. Developing a selective memory is very important for your putting and golf game in general, you need to learn to forget your bad shots, learn whatever you can from them but do not dwell on them and instead focus on remembering your great shots and putts. This will help to build your confidence levels.

Practicing a lot of short putts can really help your overall putting game. Short putts are the foundation of great putting so be sure to spend some time before each round hitting several short putts from around the hole inside ten feet. Since you will make the majority of these they are also great at building your confidence and helping you to make more putts on the course. Putting can really help to lower your golf scores.
